the bonnie books

Postby leveeguy » Tue Jan 07, 2014 1:02 pm

For anyone who remembers these horse racing novels from their childhood -- ``The Sweet Running Filly,'' ``A Horse Called Bonnie'' -- there's a new one available after more than 30 years.

Some light reading while we all try to stay warm. :)

Is she Dutch or has Barbara Dutch roots?
The more I get to know people, the more I love animals.

The name is Dutch, but Barbara is American.

I believe she grew up in New York state, worked extensively as a horsewoman at Aqueduct and in the Mid-Atlantic area (Maryland, West Virginia, etc.), and has lived in the Ocala, Florida area for more than 20 years.
