SHLEP: Finding Healing on Horseback in the Lower 48, a memoir
When I was 59, I left my emotionally abusive marriage, loaded my horses and set off to ride in all the states. I was coping with PTSD, had never gone horse camping before and driving a ginormous rig was way above my previous skill level. A year later I returned a restored woman. How that happened is complicated, but God was surely guiding the way.

TWO PONIES TRILOGY by Susan Abel
THROUGH THE MIST – Katherine O’Reilly grew up a dreamer, believing all the excitement and romance of her favorite films and books could be captured and lived. By age thirty-five, she is suicidal. Unloved by her mother and neglected by her father, she believed earning the devotion of an exciting and charming lover would validate her self-worth. After betraying her best friends to obtain the man of her dreams, he is lost. Disillusioned, the riding instructor gives up on love and dedicates her life to her students and focuses on her love of horses at an equestrian camp nestled in the Rocky Mountains. Years later, while fighting to keep her riding school, she gets a second chance at love. Can Katherine let go of her past in time to save her future? (Has over 50 5-Star reviews on Amazon)
INTO THE FIRE – The second of the Two Ponies three-book series extends the Through the Mist saga as Into the Fire picks up fourteen years later with Katherine pursuing her childhood dream of qualifying for the 1996 Olympics. Amidst chasing her vision, her dreams are suddenly blown to bits by a phone call reigniting her past. Events unfold that endanger everyone she holds dear and force her to make the most difficult choice of her life. Into the fire she rides to levy justice, protect her family, and bring a close to her troubled past. (Recently released)
Both books are set in the mid-1900s near a Blackfeet reservation in Montana and are interwoven with themes of racism and American Indian theology. Susan Abel writes from the heart, sharing her passion for horses and her love of nature through the eyes of a hopeless romantic. She hopes her stories, underscored by lessons in love, wisdom and courage, will inspire and lift the spirits of her readers. The third book of the series, From the Darkness, will be available in 2020.
