Puddleby






Puddleby by Thea Wilcox is an adorable story full of magic, excitement, comedy and wisdom. The artwork, by Lorraine Ortner-Blake is fabulous!

A chestnut pony, named Puddleby, has a special bond with a pot-bellied pig named Smooch and a white goose named Cedric. Together they learn about life lessons such as the meaning of true friendship, especially after they are moved to a different farm. There, they make new friends, especially with their new owner, Miss Thea, who has a unique skill with animals.

This story is sure to bring a smile to a youngster's face, and that is the author's intent. Thea Wilcox, from Ocala, Florida, has a real pony named Puddleby who travels with her around the country to support the Going Miles For Smiles Foundation (GMFS). This non-profit's goal is to bring a lasting smile to those less fortunate. Proceeds from the sale of this book and other merchandise support the foundation.

The Trouble with Being a Horse



The Trouble with Being a Horse by Emily Edwards has an interesting perspective - the viewpoint of a human in a horses' body!

This delightful and educational fantasy is part Wizard of Oz (there's no place like home) and Black Beauty (not all horse owners are nice) and I thoroughly enjoyed the story. I was even surprised by the ending; I thought the young horse lover, Olivia, would return to her human body - but how? I won't ruin it for you!

This is a "must read" for young horse enthusiasts because it also teaches them the importance of communication with the horse when working around and riding them.

Rescue Me by Toni Leland is a fantastic read. What an awesome concept! A woman and horses all need rescuing - and a hero comes to the rescue!

Julia Dorsey overcomes her fear of her husband and changes her life, although sacrificing her passion for a special Morgan Horse. In her new life, she meets a kind truck driver and a woman who rescues horses. Julia learns about true friendship, love and trust.

The story is written with a realistic insight to both abused women and horses. The author builds the tension to a dramatic climax, and leaves you cheering in the end.
