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.


Happy tears for those girls. Can’t help but notice the absence of boys. Wonder why it’s mostly girls that love horses so much?

I WAS one of those girls when I was 12 years old and received my VERY first horse for Christmas. I had never wanted anything MORE. And I DID cry and carry on jumping up and down and squealing like a maniac! She was a beautiful buckskin quarter horse and she was the coolest, most amazing horse ever!! I’ll never ever forget the feeling of amazement and disbelief that I finally had my most passionate desire. . . . my very own horse!! 🙂

Wonderful vignettes….
A bit sad for the testosterone impaired, but ecstatic that the warriors have fresh, young members.
I remember Declan, RT, John and so many others (Michael at Old Friends) and think we are strong.
May these blessed children remember their responsibilities, the length of commitment and their parents help with the lesson.
