About the Expert

Author Amanda Wills started riding horses when she was 13 years old and had her first registered Quarter horse by the age of 14. The chestnut nightmare that was then hers was the most imperfect horse a beginner could ask for in life, but the mare was hers. Together they learned from very difficult lessons in respect, riding, showing, and life. Amanda credits the mare, named Molly, with getting her through some very difficult teenage years. Molly stayed with her until she died at the age of 26. Throughout the years, Amanda had several other horses, rode for others, and even worked as a groom. The numerous people she had the blessed opportunity to get to know have offered words of caution and wisdom over the years. Most of these words were from highly experienced horse men and women and have been shared in the pages of this course. Hopefully you will gain and knowledge and inspiration from what is shared.
