Congrats to Jessica on her release today!!!

I'm very excited to read these books. Not only because Jessica is a friend, but also because I've been wanting to read a horse-related book. Almost every week girls come into my library looking for horse books, and I've wanted to see what all the fuss is about.

I'm not exactly an animal person, though I did grow up on a farm and either had a horse or lived next to a stable my entire childhood. The "non-animal" thing might stem from being thrown off my own horse when I was about seven or as a coping mechanism after my parents surprised us by telling us when we were eating a hamburger one day that it happened to be our beloved pet Ferdinand the Bull (okay, I can't believe I just shared that). Finding out you are eating your pet makes you a non-pet person pretty fast.

Regardless, I'm giving this book a shot, and hoping maybe I'll find my inner animal lover in the process.

Congrats again Jess on the release!!
