Right now my kid's class is doing a play about the Lewis and Clark expedition, and we're reading a book about that called "The Captain's Dog". But I do plan to finish the Gabriel trilogy.Laura Crumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15200878892304748308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5037107797013641705.post-39056754630170989162013-01-14T07:36:37.268-08:002013-01-14T07:36:37.268-08:00Francesca,

Glad you loved Gabriel's Horses. Did you read the others in the trilogy?<br />Christine--I hope I spelled Steiff right. It's the German company that has been making quality stuffed animals for years. Today a good one can be worth 1,000s. My pony was loved to death and is barely standing.

But I love that having facts correct can be so easy when horses are a constant part of your life :)<br /><br />Tell me, what is a 'Steiff pony'? :)Christinehttp://equus-blog.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5037107797013641705.post-16215467614561204762013-01-13T08:23:56.977-08:002013-01-13T08:23:56.977-08:00I have to admit that most of my research comes out...I have to admit that most of my research comes out of my many years owning, training and competing on my horses. Since I write a contemporary series, I don't need to research history. And I have had enough horsey adventures--veterinary and otherwise--to fill a dozen books. But I am very impressed by those who write historical fiction--and all the research that goes into it. My son and I LOVED Gabriel's Horses--and we really learned a huge amount about the Civil War.

It's a memorial to animals injured and killed in war. It's beautiful, and very moving, and often covered with bouquets of flowers. Your post reminded me of it. I'm sure there are other similar memorials in other places in the world, but I doubt many people think of them.<br /><br />Anyway, you impress me with your knowledge, not to mention with how many books you've written. Wow.<br /><br />xxFrancesca Prescotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16312915602595615476noreply@blogger.com
