How a Wilderness Wrangler’s female Intuition created a sense of Safety and Security for Guest Ranch Horses

This week’s podcast guest speaker is Carolyn Coleman Waller, pen name Carolyn White, from Cedaredge, Colorado. She started riding bareback in earnest at age six, got her first horse at 12, and after graduating from Ohio University (English and Creative Writing), hauled her horse to Lolo Pass, Idaho, where she attended the Trapper Creek Wilderness Guide School.

Carolyn's writing career began after she got a guiding job on an isolated, off-grid guest ranch outside of Elk City. The first publication, a two-parter for Western Horseman, was on loading mule strings and braiding three-strand cargo ropes. Many other magazines followed, including Equus, The Natural Horse, IDAHO, Colorado Life, and most recently, History. She also spent 12 years as a columnist and feature writer for The Fence Post, a weekly ag periodical.

Three memoires topped the writing career, each of them about growing up with and eventually, living off-grid with horses: Bricks underneath a Hoop Skirt, Trucks are for Girls, and Like a Swarm of Locusts.

Please join us to hear her amazing stories of taming the wilderness, horses and men!

May you always be one with your horse,
