One of the first stories I wrote and submitted anywhere was about an American Quarter Horse, written sometime around the fourth grade, and entered in a magazine contest. I don’t remember what the story was about, except that, it being written smack in the middle of my obsession with the “The Black Stallion” book series, a race happened at some point. I expect it was a terrible story, but, I suppose, aren’t many stories that are written before the age of ten?
This week, let’s write some more words of an equine nature. But let’s make it a little more interesting than just a well-trodden horse race tale, shall we?
