Here is an equispecial book for kids (of all ages) written and illustrated by a kid. This book, one of hundreds of horse books on the market, is the ONLY BOOK that''s ever been written for kids, by a kid. From the age of 12 to16 Kiki Osbourne wrote Equispecial:A Horse Column For Kids, each month to help support her four-legged habit named Cactus. Now those columns have been collected and turned into a full-length book to be enjoyed and appreciated by young (or old!) horse lovers all over the country In her five year long, Equispecial Journey Kiki introduces you to a number of her four legged friends like Cactus, Gus, Brittany, Gene, Magnetic, Outryder, Chester, and several two legged friends including Torey, Kate, Mason, Mary Ruth, and John. With the ever present aroma of well worn leather and fresh hay in the air, Kiki also describes her colorful adventures at and around the barn, 4H, open horse shows, the world of Eventing, and especially Pony Club, where she encounters the friends and mentors that help her grow from a stick horse specialist into a full fledged eventer who is committed to competing at the international level.
