This sounds like fun! I recieved this email today and thought it is just what Horse Approved readers would be interested in. We all know we can’t stop talking about our horse ;).

Dear Mona,

Would you kindly share the following call for heartwarming horse stories with Horse Approved members and with anyone you feel might be interested in this paid publishing opportunity. Of course, I welcome your stories as well.

Thank you for your consideration.
