Rimfire's fan club is growing. He was a star today at the academy show held at Sebring Stables in Richmond, MA. He carried two riders, in four classes, to three blues and one red placing. And then he took time off to meet with his fans and check out his book, Rimfire: The Barrel Racing Morgan Horse. His new book, The Five-Dollar Horse, which is based on his amazing life story, comes out in several months.

I have two book signings this weekend, both with animals that star in my books. If you're in the area, please stop by and say "hi."
On Saturday, Feb. 8, come meet K-9 Gino and his handler, Andrew Beaulieu, at WinterFest, in Easthampton, MA. They'll answer your questions about K-9 work. I'll have copies of my book, What Does A Police Dog Do?, that I'll sign for you, AND Gino will paw-print sign the books with his official paw stamp. A portion of each sale will be donated to Easthampton, MA Police Department K-9s.

On Sunday, Feb. 9, I'll be at the Academy Horse Show at Sebring Stables in Richmond, MA. I'll have all my books with me AND Rimfire will also be at the show and has said he'd be happy to "slobber-sign" his books. Come watch the adorable kids compete, cheer them on, and get the books from my series that you might be missing, or maybe get some gifts for your favorite young equestrians.

Both events promise to be fun! Come on by!!!

He's not just the star of his own book, Rimfire is also a star in the ring. Fresh after winning his second Grand National title in the saddle seat road hack finals, Rimfire is enjoying his second career safely carrying young riders as they learn the art of saddle seat riding. He was a star at this past weekend's UPHA Winter Tournament.

For Sale - Beautiful Denise Peterson print of a Morgan foal romping in front of a full moon. Signed and dated (1992), it is matted and framed. The frame is 15.5 x 15.5, the print is 11 x 11. I purchased it back in the 90s at the Maine Morgan Show when it was held in Skowhegan. It was displayed for several years and then carefully stored. $125 plus shipping. I'd love to sell it locally to avoid shipping a glass frame (I'm close to Northampton, MA, and would be happy to meet the buyer near the fairgrounds). Otherwise, I can calculate shipping. Message me for more info or to purchase. I can take Paypal or a credit card through my publishing company.
