Book Cover & Preview Text
Annie and Cassie were part of the group of newly arrived students who were attending the beginning summer riding classes. During the previous summer’s riding program, the girls met when they became roommates. The picnic outing was the first time the new campers had the opportunity to see the area beyond the pastures. It was fortunate that the group had planned the picnic right after the storm, because it was when Annie accidentally had found the small foal and saved it from starving. Another summer had begun. The wild horses contently grazed and the youngsters frolicked. A lively game of tag had started when one of the older colts had found a piece of white cloth. The youngsters had fun finding unusual items to play with. They were similar to the horses seen in pastures around riding clubs, getting into trouble by searching out strange objects that are often dangerous.

About the Author
While studying dressage in Europe, Dr. Patricia “Patti” Dammier, (PhD in psychology), had several opportunities to learn the skill of driving carriages. When she returned to the US, she began to teach one of her dressage horses to drive a small cart. Because of this experience, she has promoted several stories about driving carts/carriages. In this fiction story, Summer Fun and Driving Carriages and her nonfiction book, Positive Horses, she includes information about driving carts/carriages with horses. As a psychologist, she understands the therapeutic effect of animals on well-being. This book includes fun stories about horse-driven carriages, disabled riders not able to ride, young children convalescing, and of course…horse lovers!
