AC-I-297 Riders of a Certain Age - An Interview with Fran Severn

Audiobook Connection - Behind the Scenes with the Creative Teams

In this episode, host Becky Parker Geist welcomes Fran Severn, author of Riders of a Certain Age: Your Guide for Loving Horses Midlife and Beyond. Together, they explore what it means to rediscover—or deepen—a love of horses later in life.

Fran shares how her lifelong passion for horses began at age three and how that early spark led to a lifetime of riding, writing, and encouraging others to embrace their equestrian dreams at any age. She discusses the emotional and physical benefits of connecting with horses midlife, the barriers that often hold adults back, and how her book helps readers overcome them with humor, empathy, and practical wisdom.

Listeners will also get an insider’s look into Fran’s audiobook production experience as she and Becky discuss how storytelling through audio offers a powerful way to share the joys, challenges, and life lessons that come from working with horses.

Whether you’re a lifelong rider, a horse lover at heart, or someone curious about rekindling a long-lost passion, this conversation will leave you inspired to saddle up and follow your joy—no matter your age.
