Robynn, I really enjoyed these stories. Your love shone through every page and I found the stories engaging, personable, humorous and much more. Very well done!

Its a nice start to a nice book. Is it a true story??? Is Elvis still with you???
And don't worry, we've all known a horse like Elvis although i think a city girl going for the most dasy mare she could find was a bit on the dim side lol but thats just cause im a country girl and know these things, your were just ignorent :)
This is such a nice story for horse lovers and and people who have never even seen a horse alike, i will defiantly bei keeping up to date with the progress of this book :)

The Heart of Elvis was previously known as "Elvis Has Left the Barn". Recently completed, this has become a collection of short stories about a character of a horse that taught me how to become a horseman. You can purchase the complete book at:

Thank you!

Robynn, these are a couple of sweet stories about your horse. I know nothing of horses (except one ride at a stable when I was 15. After 2 minutes, we met another horse on the trail and my horse turned around and followed him home...end of ride) I tried to think of your horse as I would a dog! Can't wait to read more.

Love the story, even though I know nothing about horses.

Poor Darrell (husband). You are right. I'm so use to writing in the 'abstract' that I forget this is real life. I'm currently working on getting permission from the friends on the usage of their names as well. I read up on 'defamation of character' and the laws pertaining to that. You have to be very, very careful in using private names. I found it interesting you mentioned last names. I will go back and play with that. Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for the comment and feedback! Appreciated it. Robynn

Loved it, Robynn! I know it isn't a "story", but a reminisence, reminissense, sense...you know that word...I easily got caught up in the beginning of what I anticipate is going to be a much longer series. Love is like that:)
You showed us so well! Elvis, who not very many people knowledgable about equines would have chosen, selected you immediately. The bond is forged. Nice.

I am wondering, though...would it benefit the story to at least give your husband a first name( certainly not a last)? That might draw us closer to the narrator. Also, your friends. Might they be given last names? Just read it aloud with last names (fictional or otherwise) and see how it sounds.
But...it's tight. Thanks for creating it:)
