SHOW INTRODUCTION:
Today I’ll be talking with Rachel Anne Ridge, amazing human being, professional artist and designer, beautiful author, speaker and owner…or dare I say owned by Flash, the Once-Homeless Donkey.
And that’s what we’ll be talking about today, about her beautiful book Flash: The Homeless Donkey Who Taught Me about Life, Faith, and Second Chances. Flash showed up one day, melted Anne’s heart and changed her life forever.
That, plus we’ll talk about horse ballet, how the cold wars ended, golf carnage, Haysooos, the mystery of the phantom barber, the miracle of the blue hoof, and why sixty-two chromosomes are enough to allow me to run with horses
MORE ON RACHEL ANNE RIDGE:
Adopting a stray donkey was about the last thing Rachel imagined she’d ever do. She remembers seeing some donkeys that were kept as pets, and wondering, “what’s the point?” After all, what did one DO with a donkey, anyway?
Rachel found out the answer when a shabby, homeless donkey showed up on her doorstep – at a most inopportune moment. Unable to find a home for him, Rachel and her family took him in…and their lives were never the same.
