GRAY DAPPLE RESCUE Dear Readers, Ever since a herd of cremello horses appeared in my WILD HORSE ISLAND books, I've been getting questions about them. Today I came upon one of the prettiest (and luckiest, as it turns out!) cremellos ever. Her name is UNICORN and you can read her story (and explore a cool website) here: http://www.graydapple.rescuegroups.org/ Reading, riding and rescuing rock!

Do yourself a favor. Visit http://ahdf.org/ AMERICAN HORSE DEFENSE FUND's website and click on the song PONY. Have a great Saturday.

She leads trail rides, was one of the founders of the Phantom PhanClub, makes the world's best cheesecakes and more. She was great enough to send me this note after she spotted the Phantom family during one of her rides! High in the hills, the Phantom and his band move into the setting sun. For Phantom, the sanctuary has become a safe haven. He keeps his four mares and young son away from the masses, only letting us catch a glimpse of his family now and then. He scoffs at the masses of horses following the feed truck, preferring to find his own food, keeping away and living the way he did in the hills of Nevada. He is a magnificent stallion and his son mimics his behavior. Phantom has truly found his home. Ride on, Terri Permalink to this blog post Posted by Terri Farley @ 9:36 AM 0 comments Sunday, May 11, 2008 pretty Dear Readers, If you haven't checked out my NEWS page lately, I think you'll be excited to see my two new covers for MIST WALKER and WATER LILY. phantomstallion.com Reminder: just above the covers on the NEWS page is a link to the petition to save the Phantom's home herd.

These incredible photos were taken this week. The horses look incredible after wintering in the snow and the sagebrush and rabbit brush are green and tasty! http://www.kbrhorse.net/news/vre-nda25.html Please check them out!

Terri Permalink to this blog post Posted by Terri Farley @ 7:30 AM 0 comments Wednesday, May 07, 2008 YOU CAN HELP THE HORSES RIGHT THIS MINUTE Dear Readers, At last, here's an online petition to help the wild horses remaining in the Phantom's territory. The governor and department of Agriculture of Nevada thinks because summer is coming that we're TOO BUSY TO CARE. Please show the governor that this is FAR from the truth! I've posted the text of the petion below. Please note that only your name, city and state will appear. Here's mine: - Terri Farley Verdi, NV USA - http://www.ecis.com/~kbr/guestbook.html THE VIRGINIA RANGE WILD HORSES ARE IN DANGER OF BEING SENT TO SLAUGHTER DUE TO THE ACTIONS OF THE NEW DIRECTOR OF THE DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE, RECENTLY APPOINTED BY GOV. GIBBONS. DIRECTOR LESPERANCE HAS RECOMMENDED THE REMOVAL OF MOST OF THE WILD HORSES IN THE VIRGINIA RANGE AND IS MAKING STATEMENTS WHICH ARE NEITHER TRUE NOR ACCURATE REGARDING THE CONDITION OF THE HORSES AND RANGE. WE HEREBY DEMAND THE VIRGINIA RANGE WILD HORSES BE GIVEN THE PROTECTION FROM MASS ROUND UPS WHICH WILL RESULT IN THE HORSES BEING SOLD FOR SLAUGHTER.

Dear Readers, I FINALLY was able to add TUSK one of my favorite ever songs as MYSPACE music! http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=147881652 I know, the title doesn't sound like horses, but close your eyes and imagine the Phantom coming over a mountain crest with his band of wild mares... You can see manes waving in the wind and hear the thunder of hooves!!!!
