A Humbling Experience
Published in January 2009, A Humbling Experience chronicles Jenifer Morrissey's first seven years learning about and experiencing the breed. Through more than forty stories and over one hundred full color photographs, Morrissey touches on breed history and conservation, natural horsemanship, sustainable agriculture, and draft power. Morrissey’s first humbling experience was the birth of her first foal, a filly. The book concludes with a second humbling experience, the birth of that filly’s first foal. Stunning photography from the mountains of Colorado and the fells of Cumbria portray the many ponies that have crossed the author’s path so far. The book is available on amazon.com and from the author.
