Want to follow my journey with the new horse on Ins...

It was the last thing I expected. I thought I would be giddy, li...

Natalie Keller Reinert took an unconventional route in life, which is one of the reasons she can bring so many places and experiences to life in her fiction.

Welcome back! We are officially in season 2 of LiveRideLearn! In episode one, you get a heads up of what to expect for season 2 (there is a BIG secret!), and a throwback to the roots of LRL - a story. If the title of the episode didn't give it away, it's a tale of lies and imposter syndrome. I got hit dead center with it, and once I made it to the other side it was a realization that we...
