Praise for The Horses We Love, The Lessons We Learn

""Tena's real-life stories are modern-day parables for the lessons horses have to teach us: Learn from your mistakes, trust your instincts and, above all, have fun. Some stories made me laugh out loud as I recalled being in similar predicaments. Others touched an emotional chord and made me cry. I came away from them longing to be in the nurturing presence of horses, soaking up all they have to offer--and always becoming a better person for it.""
--Stacey Nedrow-Wigmore, Managing Editor, Practical Horseman

""This book captures the reader's attention and prompts a smile as each chapter concludes. Horsemen and non-horsemen alike will find the pages easy to read, inspiring, and down-to-earth as we are reminded to treasure all of life's experiences and practical lessons.""
--Coagi Long, Program Director, Equine Affaire

A tribute to horses and a treasure for horse-lovers
