A Horse Called Bonnie: A Bonnie Book

by Pat Johnson, Barbara Van Tuyl

Overview

"We Won't Let a Girl Ride!" The leader of the delegation of jockeys averted his eyes from Julie as he spoke, but there was no wavering in his voice. The jockeys would boycott the big race rather than let Julie Jefferson ride as a jockey against them. Julie heard those words like the voice of doom itself. After a cruel beating by a bad rider, Bonnie would run well only for her. Julie had defied all prejudices to win her jockey's license - and now, this. Should she defy the jockeys and ruin the entire race? Should she let another rider ride Bonnie and risk a humiliating defeat? Or was there another last desperate card she could play? Julie had to decide fast-the clock was running out!

About the Author

Holding a trainer's license since 1972, Barbara Van Tuyl had never thought to be a writer when she grew up. Inspired by books like the Black Stallion, her big break came when a friend passed on a fiction piece and gave it to her. Asked to create an outline, she decided to create a second one to show that a series could be viable. From those two outlines came the first two books in what became the Bonnie series: The Sweet Running Filly and A Horse Called Bonnie.

Books one through five were published in the mid to early 70s. Almost 30 years later, Barbara penned A Special Kind of Courage, the sixth in the Bonnie series.
