About the Books

Join a modern American veterinarian as she travels the countryside helping an intriguing arrary of horse owners and their equally interesting horses. Come meet:

• Mystery, the mare who trains her unsuspecting owner to come when she calls, and do a trick upon arrival
• Annie, the gorgeous Foxtrotter who clearly knows the world revolves around her, tells her tale of love and peril
• Jet, the retired racehorse who needs the assistance of the local fire department's Heavy Rescue Unit not once, but twice, when he puts himself in danger
• The Filbert clan, who thinks that veterinary services should not only be available at a moment's notice and be free, but that veterinary advice, once requested, should be ignored
• The class of unsuspecting junior high school students who come to the veterinary clinic for career day, not knowing that today's surgery will be a castration
