I am excited to attend the 2019 Equus Film and Arts festival. It will be held at the Kentucky Horse Park from December 5th through the 8th. Authors, artists and filmmakers who focus on the horse as their subject matter will be presenting their works. Lisa Diersen, Diana De Rosa, Carly Kade and Candace Wade have been in charge of getting all of us on the same page as we prepare to come and present our work. I will be presenting my new book: "PINTO!" as well as speaking on two author panels. The first will be on Friday where I will be speaking about turning your book into a screenplay. The second panel will be on Sunday when I will be speaking about researching for your novel.

A FORGOTTEN PIECE OF AMERICANA BROUGHT TO VIVID LIFE

The longest horseback ride in history has lain forgotten for over one hundred years. My new book is changing all that! "PINTO!-Based Upon the True Story of the Longest Horseback Ride In History," was released on October 15, 2019.

But the real story began on May 1, 1912 when four men from Bainbridge Island, WA left on a journey that would cover 20,300 miles and take over three years, ending at the San Francisco World's Fair on June 1, 1915. They visited every state capital in the union. Their objective was fame and fortune. The result? Obscurity. Sadly, no one cared.

Over the course of the three years, the Overland Westerners, as they called themselves, went through seventeen horses. Only one horse made it the whole way. You guessed it!  PINTO! This little, fifteen hand, morab completed the entire journey. So, I decided that he deserved to tell the story. After over two years of research, reading the men's journals and old newspaper articles, and visiting both the Bainbridge Island History Museum and the Oklahoma City National Cowboy and Western Museum, I put the story into Pinto's words.

This is a picture of Pinto and the leader of the Overland Westerners, George Beck.
