Yeehaw!

Yeehaw! It's time my horse obsession pays off! I've begun writing an elementary mini chapter book series about horses. In fact, four horses who are best friends and work together to make the world a better place. Oh, and did I mention...they have super powers!

Welcome to the Horse Heroes series! Book 1 is done and I am ready to find an agent and publisher. I have already found an artist who is going to make the illustrations! I am super excited about this! :D

Today's blog post will feature these four fancy equines and how they came to have their super powers! Enjoy!

Prologue: Superpowers

*       *       *
Four foals trotted along the inside of their corral. Above them, giant fireworks lit up the night sky with their dancing lights. The red thoroughbred, Phoenix, shook her still fuzzy mane and ran after each falling spark. The silver Clydesdale, Platinum, stamped his foot and snorted. The white Arabian, Pteryla, reared and tried to jump in the air and the black Friesian, Pseudo, hid under the cover of their shelter.

The last fireworks shot up into the air. If Evi, the young stable hand who took care of them, had been there, she would have noticed it was too close. But she did not live on the farm and was watching the fireworks from the roof of her house with her little sister.  

When the finale of fireworks exploded, a million stars shot into the sky. All four horses stared up in awe. Then, it sprinkled glitter dust all over their manes, tails and bodies. The foals sneezed.

It was not until the next morning that they noticed something had changed.

When Phoenix ran fast, her mane and tail would burst into flames behind her, but never burned her! When Platinum stomped his foot, the earth would tremble from his strength! When Pteryla leaped, she could fly over the treetops! When Pseudo hid, he could turn himself completely invisible!
