The auction is still up and running – yeah! For you that means: go bid! U2CanHelptheAnimals! Remember our goal is $60,000 or more for the animals!
One of the items on the auction is the book ‘Angel Horses: Divine Messengers of Hope’ by Allen and Linda Anderson. My horse Shiloh and I are contributing authors to the book.
I took three copies of the book to LA when I attended the 2007 American Music Awards Celebrity Gift Mart, hoping there would be horse lovers to sign the book and the three copies were signed before the first hour had passed!
The first celebrity to sign ‘Angel Horses‘ was Joy Lauren from Desperate Housewives, 
a horse lover who enjoys going for a ride. She also signed the horse blanket.
Celebrity Valerie Ortiz signed two copies of the book, plus a photograph of Shiloh done by Avalon Photography in Minneapolis, MN.
To encourage your bidding yen, here’s a sampling of my and Shiloh’s story, entitled ‘Thanks to a Special Horse, I’m a Real Investment’. Shiloh’s registered name is Ima Real Investment.
“Did you ever have a childhood dream that you carried into adulthood? I did. I desperately wanted a horse. Not just any horse, but the perfect horse. This horse would allow me to be a bareback rider at the local circus. This horse would be a palomino mare, more beautiful than Trigger, and would love me as much as I loved her.
“As I grew into an adult, I kept adding to my vision. Not only would she be a pale gold color, she would be mellow, between the ages of twelve and fifteen years, and measure 14.3 hands (fifty-nine inches). Adulthood naturally brings with it the wisdom of experience, and when I grew up I realized that my love and respect for horses far exceeded my capabilities as a horsewoman. So I gave up my idea of riding bareback in a circus. By the time I was in my mid-forties, I accepted that what I needed was a babysitter – a horse who did not spook, would take care of me, anticipate my every need, and keep me safe.
“After checking…..”
OK, go bid on the book so you can read the rest of the story!
Ready, Set, BID!
