"All of my teen and adult life has involved horses. I love them, and as I increased in knowledge of dealing with horses, I came to believe that they love me - or at least respect me, which is crucial to the relationship, Now I get to share some of that love, respect, and know-how, and I hope you enjoy it.
"From the time that I first met Cheryl (Cherie, to me), I have been telling her stories about horses, and of course, she has lived many of those stories with me. She claims she fell in love with me when I was riding Shane, a horse you will get to know well in these pages. We have now been married for 50 years, so maybe it's time to tell Shane's story along with many others."
So begins Doug Heser's unique memoir, a collaboration with his wife Cheryl based on his love Of horses and desire to share some good stories with those who love horses, too. And, perhaps, those who will come to love horses a little more just of the stories.
