Once part of the problem (“I tossed hundreds of water bottles in the barn trash, didn’t care where manure ended up as long as it wasn’t in my horse’s stall, and wasted untold gallons of water in a losing battle to keep a gray horse squeaky clean”) LUCINDA DYER is now as passionate about the environment as she is about horses (well almost). She lives outside Nashville, Tennessee, and works as a literary publicist and freelance writer. She is the author of Back to Work: How to Rehabilitate or Recondition Your Horse.
