In One Hundred Horses this award-winning author has interwoven stage and screen plays to create a novel in dialog. A brief memoir and photograph album of inspiration introduce each of the six chapters.

These family-friendly, realistic, dramatic cowboy romances include details about ranch, reservation, and border life; immigration, healthy food, horseshoeing, and a Shakespearean version of horse training. The author lived the life she writes about and provides authentic glimpses into traditional cowboy etiquette, universal rural values, and the rewards of hard work.

Chapter tension tackles the pros and cons of patriarchy, feminism, pride, horse training, jealousy, trust, patience, respect, misrepresentation, reconnaissance, and injury. Characters include a chuckwagon cook, Mexican illegal, Hispanic school teacher, female horseshoer, casino boss, California farmer, Las Vegas rodeo stock contractor, Marine veterans, Native American ranchers, law officers, and cowgirls.

Of course the cast also includes hundreds of horses who patiently and silently assist, challenge, and improve the humans in countless ways. .
