[RC] flicka and children's books--(why some of us got into horses & endurance) - Sharlene Roberts-Caudle

Wyoming Summer is Mary O'Hara's first
autobiography--she wrote it when she spent the summer
on her second husband's and her sheep ranch.  She was
told that no one would be interested in her life
story.  After Flicka was published as a novel, she
dusted it off and sold it.

The second autobiography, where I read this info, was
written when she was 90 or so, it's excellent!  Very
honest.  She has a fascinating story, started in
Hollywood writing captions for the silent films.

Let's not forget:

Ben Green's books (for adults but read by children who
are horse crazy)
Blue Mustang, by Zane Grey
Black Beauty
Run Wild Run Free
Dixie Dobie by Frank somebody, Dobie maybe?

There is a very, very old book about a girl who
becomes a Hollywood stunt rider, can't recall the
name.  (I mean, VERY old.)
the Timbertrails riders series (of the Sand Dune Pony
publisher)

The Horsemasters
