New York Times bestselling author Tami Hoag has written the foreword for the new book The Big Book of Small Equines: A Celebration of Miniature Horses and Shetland Ponies.
Wellington, FL (December 3, 2009) – It’s no mystery why bestselling author Tami Hoag has written the foreword for a new book on Shetland Ponies and Miniature Horses – Hoag is a fan of small equines. Hoag, who has 14 New York Times bestsellers to her name, penned the foreword for the new book The Big Book of Small Equines: A Celebration of Miniature Horses and Shetland Ponies. (Skyhorse Publishing, $29.95 Hardcover).
“I asked my parents for a pony every chance I got when I was growing up,” Hoag said, adding that her dreams came true when her parents bought her a Shetland Pony named Dan. “He was my best friend and my confidant and he taught me joy and confidence.”
In the foreword to The Big Book of Small Equines, Hoag writes that Dan was the dream pony that every horse crazy kid imagines. “My very first horse show was with Dan. I drove him in a homemade cart with wheels salvaged from a Model-A car. We placed fifth out of five, but I got a big pink ribbon and never looked back.” Read more> http://www.horsesinthesouth.com/article/article_detail.aspx?id=9111
