ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Horses have been part of my life since I was a kid. Our first horse was one of the ones you see outside of the local Kmart store - the kind you put a quarter in for a 3 minute ride. Our father, a route salesman for a beverage company purchased one of the full-size horses for us when I was four years old. It was a beautiful black and white paint. We spent many enjoyable hours playing on that horse.
