R.T. Fitch’s life has been anything but ordinary. Straight out of high school, he joined the U.S. Air Force Band during the Vietnam era, and while stationed in Hawaii, he spent weekends at Sea Life Park training penguins, sea lions, and whales. His path through life has taken many unexpected turns—including more than a few lessons in love—until meeting his wife, Terry, brought a lasting partnership and a shared passion for animals. Over the course of his adult career, R.T. worked internationally in multiple countries, gaining a broad, global perspective that colors both his worldview and his writing. Now rooted in Texas, he and Terry live on a small farm surrounded by four-legged companions with paws, claws, and hooves. Together, they have devoted years to equine rescue and wild horse protection. An ordained volunteer chaplain and professional Santa Claus for a local historical society—with Terry by his side as Mrs. Claus—R.T. brings warmth, wisdom, and joy to every season. His work reflects a life of service, wonder, and connection to both people and animals. He is the author of Straight from the Horse’s Heart, a moving collection of true rescue stories and spiritual reflections, and Fangs of Light, a supernatural tale steeped in symbolic and metaphorical storytelling. The first in a planned trilogy, Fangs of Light blends myth and mystery to explore themes of identity, redemption, and the power of empathy—offering readers not only suspense and intrigue but a deeper look at the light and shadow within us all.

I also can’t therebut will be in spirit.
I also heard on FB last night that BLM was refused the 12 million additional monies they were asking for.
We need to make sure that BLM isn’t selling more horses under the cover of darkness to fund these roundups.

This is a wonderful project and it is exciting too. I too wish I was able to attend because I have been in Washington before and it is an amazing place. I hope that the groups get major news media coverage. I will be with all you guys in
spirit. Just excellent…Our Legislators will see that there are many more Americans trying to protect our horses rather than doing them in.

Does anyone know if the National Academy of Science committee appointed to the Wild Horse and Burro Investigative Project (don’t know its official name), starting this fall, will be there for the conference? It seems like a very important starting point for the NAS committee.
