We all have dreams and life passions, and those of us who somehow figure out ways to spend our lives in their pursuit are indeed among the fortunate ones. Kelly Jurgensen has two such passions: horses and storytelling. Watch her ride and you will see a kind of mastery that can stun you to silence. Read her work and you will find yourself in the good old days when reading was a full-bodied experience. Like standing in the heart of an old tack room, these stories are rich with humanity.
