Kelly Hale

Hey horse lovers! My name is Kelly Hale, and I too am a lifelong horse lover. I grew up riding horses on a cattle ranch in the Midwest. My earliest memory of riding horses is my horse named Red. He was huge (especially to a child), and he loved to lope back to the barn (I only fell off once!). My childhood favorite horse riding trips in the summer were going to move cows in the pasture, and eating mulberries right off the trees. Yum!

I enjoy writing and graphic design – this book is a culmination of both of those passions. Designs in this book have been tested by adults (myself) and my kids (ranging from 3 years old to 12 years old).

I live in the Midwest with my husband and three young daughters. We try to ride horses as much as possible, and our oldest daughter shows her horse in the summer.
