So . . you want to know about my book . . . 

and they thought the punch line took a long time coming... OK I'll speak... 

p.s. I knew I should have taken a shower. Cameras when you least expect 'em!

SCENES FROM HORSE EXPO POMONA 



There are days that things just work. Here's one of them.  




The cutest girl displaying her rendition of one of the illustrations from my book.  The coloring table was filled with kids. One made me red!  


See that handsome face in the background?  The one in the halter, I mean. C'est moi! Doing my famous "stay down" in a scene from the video book trailer that illustrator Dani Bowman created after coming to meet me.  Dani's 19 and has her own animation studio. She has autism and teaches animation at Joey Travolta's summer camps.  She met my human companion,
 Elizabeth Kaye McCall, at the Los Angeles Times Book Festival when Elizabeth was there with her first book The Tao of Horses.  





Animation in Action! 





Here's illustrator Dani Bowman (in red) animating one of the illustrations from my book
at Horse Expo Pomona.  That man in the baseball cap?  None other than Mister Cowboy Dressage himself, Eitan Beth-Halachmy, who is giving her tips on equine footfalls.  

Can't have my feet missing a beat!

Looking intently over Eitan's shoulder (or "8" as his friends call him) on the right, is none other than author Elizabeth Kaye McCall. 

You should hear the vocals on the animation.  They're mine!





Until we speak again  . . . oops . . . make that until I speak! 

Yours truly,
