What is the blog about?
The Bridle Paths is the effort of a life-long equestrian to bring awareness to the untapped potential of horse-centered stories – whether on console, on paper or on the big screen – by providing a comprehensive guide to the genre and its tropes, together with in-depth analysis about the many facets of the equestrian world.
