- R.T. Fitch, author of "Straight from the Horse's Heart", is a jack-of-all-trades. In the past, he has worked with whales, dolphins, sea lions, and penguins at Sea Life Park in Hawaii. First introduced to horses by his wife, Terry, his fondness for all things equine has become an obsession. They spent several years in Brazil where they met Terry’s current equine companion, Apache.

The highlight of their rescue career came during the equine rescue efforts after hurricanes Katrina and Rita as outlined in Ky Mortensen’s book, Horses of the Storm. R. T. currently sits on the Board of Directors for Habitat for Horses( www.habitatforhorses.org).
