In this episode Katie talks with author and horseman Tom Equels about his debut novel "The Horseman's Tale." Tom is a decorated Vietnam combat veteran, lifelong horseman, and champion Paso Fino breeder. He’s also a civil rights attorney who has spent decades fighting for justice in the courtroom while finding his own healing through horses. His debut novel, The Horseman’s Tale, draws on his experiences of trauma, resilience, and redemption—exploring the healing power of horses against the backdrop of war, identity, and personal struggle. Tom’s story is a testament to how the bond between humans and horses can transform lives, and his book is now available everywhere books are sold.
