About this ebook
My Best Friend Betsy shares the love between Rafferty, the magnificent dressage horse and his horse-crazy little girl and best friend Betsy! Beautifully illustrated by Lindy Swan, this children's book focuses on the love between horse and rider. It also shares insights into the responsibilities involved in having a horse and the commitment a rider must make if they want to compete at the highest levels of dressage.
“Sweet and gentle. What a good horse owner thinks of on a daily basis. The illustrations bring it to life. A charming tale of a well-cared for and loved horse. Sandi Bell, Founder Heart and Soul Equine. Bay Area, California
Writing from experience, international dressage rider and Movement and Body Awareness Specialist Jennifer Malott Kotylo has written a charming book for children giving them a glance into the care and detail that goes into the training of a Grand Prix-level horse.
The accompanying paintings by Lindy Swan make this a book that should appeal visually to adults as well as to youngsters. My Friend Betsy is a perfect gift for that horse-crazy child on your list!” Colleen Rutherford Archer, Author. Deep River, Ontario, Canada.
"My Best Friend Betsy" is a fun story to read to young horse enthusiasts. It tells the real story of a true relationship and educates on the responsibilities of owning a horse. This story encourages relationships beyond just competition of our equine partners, something all horse owners need to cultivate.” Melinda Pepper. Kent County 4-H Program Coordinator, Michigan.
“I really enjoyed this sweet tale of a horse and his best friend - told from the horse's point of view! It reminds me of the stories I read when I was a horse crazy little girl, dreaming of the day when I would have my own horse.” Eileen Coe, Savvy Tender Touch, Certified Equine Acupressure.
“An uplifting tale of a lucky horse and his caring human friend. Sure to stir the wonder of the human-animal bond in child and grownup alike, and the hope that all horses find the love of their very own Best Friend Betsy that each of them so richly deserve.” Laine Raia, Author/Editor and Proprietor of The Ponderaia Stables, North Reading, MA.
“It's wonderful! Especially with the Olympics this might be the extra push a horse crazy child needs to find their horse and may their parents be supportive or at least understanding.” Cindy Hotz - still a horse crazy little girl. Fellow author and horse owner.
