Avril Herbert

Biography

Hi my name is Avril Herbert I was born in England and moved over to America at the age of 25. I am a blogger, author and equestrian. I am the author of the eBook “The Life Of An Akita Chow Mix” growing up as a child I was always writing my mum stories. Whenever I am writing I always feel such peacefulness around me.

I am a huge animal lover I grew up with cats and dogs and have been horse riding since the age of four and in 2014 I purchased my first horse who was a rescue, she was an off the track Thoroughbred and weighed 900lbs I named her Lady and it has been amazing watching her transform. I originally purchased her to pursue my love of jumping but she is showing great dressage potential I believe that animals come into our lives for a reason maybe she is going to bring out a hidden talent in me and I am very excited to be learning dressage.

I am not psychic but I do have a small sixth sense I do see, sense and feel spirits and energies and I do hear voices from my spirit guides. I am a huge believer in meditation I love just allowing my spirit and my guides to just guide me, I love the possibilities that come with exploring beyond the surface and unearthing something hidden deep within myself the universe as a whole invigorates me.

As an equestrian I believe that it starts from the ground up not only the relationship between horse and rider but also for the fitness for the rider. I believe that it is important to look after ourselves from the inside out and as riders it is not only important to be physically fit but also mentally fit and for us to stay centered, after all we have to communicate with a teammate that speaks a completely different language.

Apart from meditation, horse riding and writing I love the beach, enjoying a sunset or just being outside enjoying nature, I guess deep down there is a little bit of a hippy girl inside me.

Smashwords Interview

Can you tell me a little about yourself?
I was born in England and moved over to America at the age of 25. I have always been a huge animal lover and I started horse riding at the age of 4. In 2014 I rescued a Thoroughbred mare who was off the track and I named her Lady, she was 900lbs when I brought her home, and to watch her turn around has been amazing. I have a small sixth sense, I’m not psychic but I can see, sense and feel different spirits and energies, I like to call it "I am very spiritually connected". I am huge believer in meditation I love just letting my spirit and guides just guide me, I love the possibilities that come with exploring beyond the surface and unearthing something hidden deep within myself the universe as a whole invigorates me. I love the outdoors but when I’m not horse riding, with my animals or meditating if you give me a beach, a sunset, a pen and piece of paper I’m happy. I think deep down there is a small hippy girl in me.
Do you remember the first story you ever read, and the impact it had on you?
The first story I ever read was Black Beauty by Anna Sewell, as a young child I fell in love with story, every night I had to read it I think my mum lost count how many times I read the book. The book really teaches us to treat animals with kindness and respect. As a child I was always watching the Show Jumping and Dressage on the television and the book really helped my passion for the animal not just the sport grow and then once the TV series and movie came out of course I had to watch them. To this day I still love the book it has to be my all time favorite.
