Preview on Stories Horses Teach Us

There is a quiet adventure that opens within us when we look to animals and nature for guidance. In this short preview, Mary Chris Foxworthy offers a warm glimpse into the world she shares with her horses in Metamora, Michigan. Her life as an author began through the wisdom of her horses and the influence of her mentor, Gloria Austin, whose museum and library helped preserve equestrian heritage. One of Mary Chris’s horses even became a Briar model, adding another beautiful chapter to her story.

Her love for history, community, and the next generation shines through as she talks about the camaraderie of carriage driving, the humor in horse idiom, and the magic that happens when a child meets a horse for the first time. She brings the past to life in a way that reminds us how animals can help us stay present, connected, and hopeful. The full interview airs on December 12.

Takeaways

• The deep camaraderie found in carriage driving
• How horse history opens our understanding of the present
• The joy children experience when they meet a horse

Let this preview remind you that adventure is already happening. It lives in the stories we carry, the animals who guide us, and the moments when we choose to slow down and truly see the world around us.
