Albert and Gigi Amateau


If you enjoyed your ride, kiss your horse
is definitely a blog about horses, riding, horse people, and all the reasons I love horses, and it’s also about gratitude and friendship and the grace of traveling through this world together, carrying each other up hills and back down.

In 2008, Candlewick Press published my middle-grade novel, Chancey of the Maury RiverChancey is an old-fashioned horse story – a tribute to our Appy, Albert, and school and therapeutic riding horses everywhere. If you’d like to know more about my books, visit my website: www.gigiamateau.com.

I’m always looking for interesting ideas and thoughts about how people and horses are helping each other in today’s world. I also post here about things that I really love: birds, my family, cooking, VCU basketball, books, writing, yoga, and the city I live in, Richmond, VA.

  1. Hi! Oh, that’s great to hear and thanks for sharing! To me, that’s what it’s all about-having fun and being together. Continued good wishes for B & C!

  2. Hello,
    Brittany and Chestnut had alot of fun at the EQUINE EXTRAVAGANZA in Ricmond! They did not win any prizes but share the
    love and joy of each other every day! Thank you for cheering for them!

  3. Jen – it’s a such a joy writing with you, too, and our group on Tuesdays. I do know Horses I have Known! That’s amazing. Thank you for visiting my blog and saying such nice things! See you soon.

  4. I am so impressed with you and you writing …….I caught whiffs and wuffles from your writing. Pond water and tadpoles, but I had no idea of the extent of your involvement with horses and your associations. I am in awe of the Equine part and cannot get past that part yet.

    There are no coincedences. (Beloved Cliche)

    I am truly humbled by your energy, your dedication and enthusiasm with regard to everything you do.

    I can’t help myself, I must name drop, just one… you may not be familiar with Robert Varva’s Work; his book, “Horses I have Known”. I trained with and did breeding and foaling for the Cover Horse of that book: El Cordabez, A deep red bay Andalusian Stallion. A farm high on a mountain top in the Smokies in TN. Green, all the green I could ever want : )

    I look forward to seeing you next Tuesday

    Truly, I am charmed and delighted to have met you.
    Jen Whitney (Tuesday night)

    (I just set up my blog this evening)
