Resident in Ireland for twenty six years, Susan E Conley went horse crazy at the tender age of 41 and 11/12ths. In 2006, she finally got up the nerve to get up on an actual horse as opposed to reading and dreaming about them, and it’s been harder and easier than anything she’s ever done yet.
Susan has a Master of Philosophy in Irish Theatre Studies from the Samuel Beckett Centre, Trinity College, an Honours Degree in Psychology, and a diploma in Equine Assisted Therapy and Learning. Conley is the author of three other books: Drama Queen; The Fidelity Project; and the soon-to-be-rereleased That Magic Mischief. She is at work on her next ‘horse book’ as well as a new paranormal/historical romance series.

Twenty five years (!!) on from my first ever riding lesson, these posts are still wandering round and round, a figure of eight starting with today, probably, and yesterday, definitely. It’s the antithesis of how I usually do things, but… that’s horses for ya.
MANY BRAVE FOOLS 
My coach told me that All Kind Elephants Have Cuddly Mothers Brothers Fathers. I like that one, & it’s good for kids & those of us with fuzzy brains. We both wondered about the Sisters though – would their presence make an Elephant less Kind? And aren’t there lots of other letters in between?

Not very elegant, but memorable!
