We're thrilled to re-welcome Celia Ryker, an award-winning author whose life's journey has taken her from horse training to writing deeply moving stories. Today, she shares insights into her latest middle-grade novel, "Big Guy," a heartfelt tale that echoes classics like Black Beauty.

"Big Guy" explores the life of a show horse facing the twilight of his career with resilience and discovers the true meaning of friendship and community in a new home. This episode offers a deep dive into Celia's unique background in horse training, her transition into a celebrated author, and how her real-life experiences with horses enrich her storytelling.

Dive into the equine world through Celia's eyes and discover why "Big Guy" is not just a book for horse lovers but for anyone who cherishes stories of growth and transformation.
