Hi bbs! I wanted to write to you yesterday – it was April Fools, you know. BUT there was a mysterious computer hacker afoot in Riverdale that kept us ALL out of our blogs! You know what I think? I think the old Riverdale Prankster came out of hiding and went on another pranking spree!
Shame on you, Riverdale Prankster!
There is so much to catch up on! Ronnie and I have decided to write animal stories for our fiction project. I am going to write a horse story (thanks Dalton) and Ron is going to write about dogs, specifically Cookie.
I know Ron asked you to vote on horse vs. dog stories on her blog a few days ago. She said the vote was pretty evenly split. Some of you even suggested a story combo – horses AND dogs. I like that idea!
So, if there are ANY horse fans out there, I would like to hear from YOU! Here are some questions I thought of off the top of my head:
Who’s your favorite horse story author?
What’s your favorite horse story?
Do you have a horse?
Or do you collect horse figurines?
Do you ride?
Western or English?
Ever been to a Dude Ranch?
Ever been to/or participated in a horse show?
Wow – that’s almost a Top Ten list! LOL Okay, that’s all the questions for now. Can’t wait to read your answers.
Xoxoxoxo

Hi Bets!! I ♥ that idea about you doing a horse story. I don't know who my FAVORITE horse story author is, ( I have so many,) but after you write your story, it'll probably be you!! :-D I don't have a favorite horse story ( again I have too many, ) but after you write yours, it'll probably be yours! :-D I don't have a horse, but my neighbor does. (It's kinda weird that my neighbor does, because I live in San Diego!! :-) Yes, I do collect horse figurines. I do ride horses. (I have since I was 6 years old. I'm 10 now.) You should probably go with Western. I have never been to a Dude Ranch before. I have seen a horse show on TV once.

Hi Betty, I have ah horse, that a compete English show jumping with, and my uncle owns a dude ranch, so yes, I've been to one. My favourite horse author is Joanne Cambol, who writes the thoroughbred series. I love stories, that usually have the girl wanting the badly treated horse, can't get it, but in the end gets it. They are really sweet. I think you should write one of those stories,
Maddie
P.S Do you ride Betty?

wow, thats a lot. well i went to camp where we rode horses, and it's pretty atimidating, cause when you look at the horse before you ide you think "oh it's not so big" and then when you get on the horse suddenly your a thousand feet in the air.
and if you should read "king of the wind." if you got to the library it's a newberry award winner so look in that section. also black beauty. also watch the movie "Hildalgo" with that one guy who played "ERAGORN" in the lord of the rings.

I have never been on any horse other than the ponies at the fair, but I have seen horses before. I think they are beautiful, magnificent creatures. Though I have never participated in one, my Dad once took me to a horse show at the fairgrounds. It was cool, seeing all the horses trotting around the ring with their riders in fancy costumes. I saw a horse show at the Missouri state fair with my grandparents too. I have never rode a horse, but I love them.
