Bill grew up in Dallas, Texas, but it didn’t take this city boy long to fall in love with country life and horses. After marrying Margaret, the two raised and sent off their 5 kids in to the world, and returned to Margaret’s passion for horses and the blessings experienced from country living.
Bill left Texas in 1971 and ventured to seminary in the blue grass of Kentucky leading him to his life as an ordained United Methodist pastor for over 40+ years (but who’s counting, right?). He founded and served as senior pastor at in Lubbock, Texas, retiring in the spring of 2016. While serving in his church for over 37 years, Bill experienced the privilege of pastoring “every size church” from zero to over 4,000 members—all at one place!!
Since his retirement from the pulpit, Bill is enjoying the opportunity to share his vast experience through consulting with pastors and churches. He is also passionate about sharing the impact the horses and nature can have on others through the UnBridled Life retreats and workshops. Combining insights that inspire personal enrichment with the wisdom elicited from the horses, Bill believes it gives hope and encouragement to others to live a truly purpose-filled life.

Women Who Listen to Horses shares the transformational encounters of women who have attended an Equine Facilitated Encounter at Trinity Ranch led by Margaret and her team of horses. This inspired book is an invitation to find a way to slow down and reconnect with the majesty of life, learn how to live your dreams, and remember who and whose you are.
Margaret and her horses teach us that it is never too late to rewrite our stories into tales of healing, joy and abundant happiness.
Erin Shaw StreetThis book is a beautiful rendition of women and horses, a bond that is difficult to describe in words really, without the sweet scent of hay-breath or a nose nuzzling your hand.
