Hi Mary!!! I read one from your LASSOED IN TEXAS Series and adored it! This is so great with a new series too! I see I have much to catch up with you with your new series now! I’m excited about after reading the blurb on it! Huge congrats! I didn’t realize so many breeds of horses. I do want to try again to ride one even tho I walked like I was doing a split, for a few days I had to experience it before the kids did i the camp when I worked in a camp with children who are deaf. Ouch. I guess it really is something to get used to riding!!

Wanted a horse as a kid (what little girl didn’t?), but a shetland pony rearing up on me as I was leading him down a ramp cured me of that. Have ridden a few times, but they are big and stronger than I am. Sorry, don’t trust them. My mom scared me when I was a kid. Her cousin’s horse bolted as they were heading out of the barn. She didn’t have time to duck and suffered sever head injuries. My daughter worked at a Boy Scout camp as a wrangler at their Wagon Train unit. She went out to get the mules one morning for the wagon. She was riding one and leading the other. Something spooked them and one went one way and one the other. She was pulled off and landed on her hip. She lay in the woods for a while before someone found her. They called the rescue squad, carried her out and took her to the small local hospital. They decided it was a bruised hip and sent her back to work and told her to take it easy a few days. She rode and wrangled another 3 or 4 weeks at least. It has bothered her for years and when she went to the doctor recently, he took x-rays. Seems she actually broke her hip way back then and now has arthritis. She has horses now, but nobody rides. My sister was thrown by a pinto many years ago. I can remember how blue in the face she got. She had the breath knocked out of her and it seemed to take her forever to start breathing.
Ok, give me a good reason to ride a horse.

Montana Rose is coming July 1st. It’s available for pre-order now on Amazon.

And I had a lot more titles I considered.

I fell off a horse about…ten? maybe fifteen years ago…fully adult…all my own fault, just messed up my dismount and landed on my backside.

You know how they say you’ve got to get right back on or you never will?

I stayed off. Forever. I’m happy, the horse is happy. I own a car…and feet. that covers my transportation needs.

Mary, excellent titles I’ve always loved reading horse stories, but didn’t actually ride a horse until just last year. Thankfully I managed NOT to fall off! Whew!
