She was three years old when her daddy lifted her up onto the back of an old palomino horse. Her short, blue jean covered legs didn't come anywhere near the long, dangling stirrups of the Western saddle. Her Daddy tied a big knot in the worn, leather reins and gently placed them in her tiny hands. "Hold onto these reins and this saddle horn, Janet," he said. "I'll be right here with you; let's take a ride." That's the day she fell in love with horses and began dreaming of one day having a horse of her own. Alas, the years passed and she grew older. Would she ever get her dream horse? Dream Horse Interview with the Author: Q - Why did you write this book? A - I wrote Dream Horse because I believe in the power of dreams and in the value of pursuing them in order to achieve your heart's desire. I also wanted to share some basic information about horses with children who might not have much exposure to them. This book is part of my Farm Adventure Series. Q - Why did you write this series? A - According to the TV program, America's Heartland, today's children are an average of 3-4 generations removed from farm life. I wanted to give my readers a little taste of country living and life on the farm. Q - What age group are you targeting with this series? A - This series is for readers ages 7-107. As a matter of fact, many horse loving adults may recognize their younger selves in these pages. .
