The Blog of Marilyn M. Fisher

This blog and web site are dedicated to the well-being of horses, dream animals that live alongside us. Tragically, horses need protection from various kinds of abuse at the hands of human beings. The mistreatment takes many forms. Horses are left to die in some obscure pasture or damp stall. They're trained brutally and senselessly. And they're deliberately killed. My writing here and in my novels is a small way to help animals I've owned, ridden, and bred, and at all times, loved completely.
