It’s All About the Outfits

Posted on December 7, 2009 by Judith Tarr

Even writers who have zero interest in horses, if they’re writing in a setting that features equines at all, can be persuaded to take an interest in the clothes people wear on and around the big scary animals. The history … Continue reading →

Form to Function, Redux

Posted on November 30, 2009 by Judith Tarr

I’ve talked about this-world breeds and types of horses in previous posts, and gone into some detail about equine form for various functions. This week I’d like to revisit the topic, but with a more speculative bent: creating breeds and … Continue reading →

Doctoring the Equines

Posted on November 23, 2009 by Judith Tarr

In any setting that relies on horses for transport, the ability to keep the transport healthy and functional is vital. Raising, feeding, and training contribute strongly to that, of course, but entropy being what it is, sooner or later you … Continue reading →

Psst…Hey, Dobbin…

Posted on November 16, 2009 by Judith Tarr

The “horse whisperer” thing was very big a few years ago. All the pony people were doing it or learning how to do it, and then there was that movie with Robert Redford being all craggy and sensitive. Then inevitably … Continue reading →

About That Mounted Expedition…

Posted on November 9, 2009 by Judith Tarr

At last I’m getting to a question asked in the first blog or two: What about logistics of mounted expeditions? This matters a great deal to the author writing any kind of quest or preindustrialized battle, not to mention the … Continue reading →

The Horseman’s Mind II: Shoshin Inside Out

Posted on October 26, 2009 by Judith Tarr

This past week was rather interesting from the writer-rider-teacher point of view. I had opportunity to watch a beginning rider discover an entire new world of kinesthesia, and there just happened to be a discussion of the “Beginner’s Mind” in … Continue reading →

Form and Function: Speed

Posted on October 19, 2009 by Judith Tarr

Last week we talked about why the Giant Fantasy Horse(tm) is not the best idea for your questing Fellowship or your knight errant. This week we’ll look at another aspect of equine form and function: Speed. You won’t always be … Continue reading →

Aliens in Fur Suits

Posted on September 28, 2009 by Judith Tarr

This is a post about aliens. It’s also a post about writing the Other–human, animal, or otherwise. Horses are sentient. There’s some debate as to how intelligent they actually are, but as with other animals, the more scientists study them, … Continue reading →

A Horse of Air

Posted on September 14, 2009 by Judith Tarr

Just this morning I was reading a book I loved in my Sensawunda(tm) years. I still love it, but now I’m older and have published a few books of my own, the things I notice are different. In the context … Continue reading →

But How Do You Feel?

Posted on September 5, 2009 by Steven Harper Piziks

One of the most common comment I write on student manuscripts is, “How does the character feel about this event?” or “What is her reaction?” It’s easy to narrate events, much harder to show internal reactions. But as a writer, … Continue reading →
