About Susan Count

I write at an antique secretary desk which belonged to the same grandmother who introduced me to horse books. The desk has secret compartments and occupies a glass room with a forest view. Bunnies and cardinals regularly interrupt my muse, as do my horses grazing in a clearing.

The only thing more fun than riding might be writing horse adventure stories.

Enchanting tale of courage, love, loss, and hope. Don't tell anyone this is for children because I couldn't put it down.

Twelve-year-old Mary falls in love with a foal that is lame, just like her. The expensive surgery the foal needs has little chance to correct the problem. Still Mary plots and conspires to raise money to save the horse, even as time runs out. She sacrifices what she holds dear - the trust of her papa, to gain her heart's desire. But she could lose everything in her struggle to save the foal.
For tween fans of the classic horse books like The Black Stallion, Black Beauty and Misty of Chincoteague.
