I worked hard to put up all the rest of the fall 2023 seasonal entries. You will see for yourselves how hard it was for the judges to choose a winner, and why they also chose a couple runners up for each age category, which of course you can see on t...

I’m excited to announce the winners of the Circle C fall 2023 contest. One from each age category. Note: This is a very busy week coming up, packing to go to CA. I will try to post the entries a few at a time. Since there were 50 (gasp!) entries for...

Rubicon’s Moonlight Motion, Dakota’s sire, has been trained to lie down and let his former owner, Megan, rest on his back. Rube is a big stallion, 16hh, but he’s as gentle as a kitten. (Kristel is his new owner). Watch this fun video with Megan showi...

Emmy J. sent me an email this morning. She loves the Circle C books but wants recommendations for other Christian Westerns. Any help would be appreciated. I can recommend Outlaw Trail, the book whose author (Kristen Cora) I interviewed, but send a li...
