I couldn’t make it to New York in November for the 2017
Equus Film Fest, so I was thrilled to learn that the show is making the rounds
and landed here in Los Angeles in June 2018. It was quite a treat to meet all
the horse loving authors and film makers. They each had a different spin on why
the horse world is important to them.
The event founder, Lisa Diersen, selected my novel The Cowgirl Jumped Over the Moon as her
favorite literary entrant. I shared a table with Robin Hutton who has had
tremendous success with her story Sgt.Reckless about a mare who became famous for her courage in the Korean
War.
Naomi, the L.A. organizer, presented a
heartwarming film about how her horse gave her the courage to become an
authentic person. She quit a lucrative job that was killing her soul and began
supporting a riding program for inner city kids.
It was a fun, inspiring event that opened up some doors for
me I hadn’t thought about. I sold some books and made some new friends. All good.
