Linda Anne Starr (“Anne”) was born with a fascination for horses and an easy rapport with animals. At three, a cat taught her non-verbal communication with other species. At seven she taught the family dog circus tricks; at thirteen she traded her bike for a Shetland pony she taught to drive. As a teenager she backed young horses and retrained troubled ones under a respected teacher, which is where her reputation for success with “difficult” horses began.

Over a lifetime with horses, Starr has ridden, trained, competed, and judged in Western performance, AQHA, hunt seat, combined driving, and dressage through Prix St. Georges. She explains what makes horses tick and how they communicate. A painter, she created the cover art for Training the Horse’s Beautiful Mind. She lives in Hawaii with her husband, Ken; their Andalusians, Indigo and Coronado; and their cats, Pepsi and Kiko. Learn more at BronzeGirlPress.com.
