AI for Horse People came from watching the equestrian community ignore or fear artificial intelligence, when it actually has practical applications that can save time and improve decisions. I saw horse breeders spending hours on tasks that AI could help with. I saw people unsure whether to trust AI tools. The book is a practical guide to using AI ethically and effectively in actual horse work. Not hype, not fear. Just honest assessment of what the tools can actually do.

My readers inspire me. I get questions from horse breeders and owners trying to solve specific problems, and those questions lead to books. "How do I pick the right horse?" led to Buy The Right Horse. "How do I market my horses fairly?" led to Sell Your Horse The Right Way. "What should I actually feed my dog?" led to Homemade Dog Food Recipes. Real people with real problems are the best source of inspiration for writers.

I'm republishing Horse Color Explained as an updated edition. The book was out of print, but genetics and DNA testing have advanced so much in the last decade that an updated version is needed. It covers coat color genetics with the latest understanding of how traits are inherited. I'm also working on expanding the Australian direct sales side of my business for people who want physical horse products and supplies.

Write about something you actually know, not something you think people want to read. I spent fifty years with horses before I wrote about them. That experience is what makes the books useful. Too many writers try to write about subjects they've researched but never lived. Readers can tell the difference. Also, write because you want to solve a problem or teach something, not because you want to be famous. The books that endure are the ones that help people.
