As promised here is my interview with riding Super Star
Susan Hutchison. She is the rider I had in my mind’s eye while writing the Grand Prix jumping scenes in the The
Cowgirl Jumped Over the Moon. Susie melds with her mounts and flows with
their movement giving them the freedom to enjoy what they are doing and to win.
I saw her ride Samsung Woodstock the horse who took her to the World Equestrian
Games in 1994. She is still going strong and was inducted into the Jumper Hall
of Fame in 2015. I am proud to have my conversation with Susie featured in The
California Riding Magazine.

It is very gratifying to see my book listed with two other
great reads in the book review section of the California Riding Magazine.
Writing the story has brought me full circle and back into the horse world in ways
I could never have imagined. I wrote the story standing up at my breakfast bar.
It took my mind off the extreme sciatica I was experiencing due to an injury to
my back that forced me to give up riding. My protagonist has an accident on
course that forces her to re-think her life and determine if the riding world is
worth the sacrifice and discipline necessary to be a winner.
