We value horse people’s stories and believe we can learn from each other. If you want to share your story but aren’t comfortable with or interested in writing it yourself, you can still contribute via our virtual interview. This simple form includes various questions about how horses have made a difference in your life. If your interview is selected, we’ll feature you in a BRU article.

The interview questions are essentially writing prompts, and you are not required to answer all of them. But, the more detail you share, the better chance we have of crafting a great article! If your interview is selected, we’ll contact you before publication to approve your final piece.

IMPORTANT NOTE: To ensure you don’t lose any progress, please consider saving your responses in a separate document and copying and pasting them here when you’re ready to submit.
