Dick Courteau
Author Dick Courteau’s earliest memories, from infancy, are of seeing horses at work. He has been riding and working horses—and then donkeys and some mules—since age eleven, when his foster father gave him his first pony, a stone-blind but spirited twelve-hand pinto mare named Toots. Dick Courteau has lived an itinerant life centered around working with horses, and, more recently, donkeys. His book on donkey training, Get Your Ass to Work! An Illustrated Guide to Training Your Donkey to Harness (Mission Point Press 2020), has been called “indispensable reading.” He started contributing essays and how-to tips to Rural Heritage magazine in 2020 and has been a regular contributor since 2021.
