In this episode of the Horse Industry Podcast Lynn sits down with author Cheryl Eriksen. Cheryl has written the book Follow Me, Friend: A Memoir of Undiagnosed PTSD, and the Healing Power of the Horse-Human Relationship. When Lynn and Regina started the Horse Industry Podcast, they wanted to make sure that they were telling stories about the industry and things that are important to the industry. And not all of those stories involve blue ribbons and perfection. Some of the stories in the industry are about healing and self-preservation, and that relationship with the horse or the dog, whatever saves your life or gets you through the day. And that is exactly what today’s episode is all about. Listen HERE.
