  Horses are healers, no doubt!
  Intuitive, innocent animals, who help people survive with so many emotional & physical issues of humans!
  We must protect them ALWAYS for their amazing ways that make us heal without any words spoken.

Horses helped me to survive the suicide of my oldest son. I was blessed to find many resources to survive & pay it forward to other organizations in his memory. I volunteered for various local horse rescues, supporting therapeutic riding, OTTB rescues, Ever After Mustang Rescue in Maine.
Doing more research, I was able to connect with WHFF, Habitat 4Horses, AWHP, Cloud Foundation, and many others, who save horses from the kill pens. I do this in memory of my son that I lost. Want no recognition here. Many amazing HORSES, orgs. & mentors have helped me to survive! I feel blessed!

R.T. Fitch

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.
