New book: Torden, Hear The Thunder

1 11 2006

Torden

C. Kirkham has lovingly merged her literary aspirations and equestrian passions in Torden, Hear the Thunder, the first offering in a planned two-book series. This coming-of-age novel about friendship and loyalty, aimed at pre-teen girls and young women, springs to life against the backdrop of World War I-era Europe.

Just loooooooook at that delicious Friesian on the cover. More info at the official website, along with a sneaky peak at the book’s first chapter.





Retired NYPD horses at centre of dispute

Breonics president Ernest Green stands among 30 old New York City police horses grazing in Otisville, N.Y. Old New York Police Department horses done with pounding the pavement get to amble away their retirement years on gentle grass here. No shoes. No saddles. The only honking heard on this ranch two hours north of Manhattan comes from geese. It seems idyllic. except for the legal fight between New York City and Brenoics, the private ranch’s owners.
