The Great Adventures of the Jackson Twins, Their Family and the Dogs in Their Lives, A Novel for Teens and Young Adults and All Those Who are Young at Heart

About the Author Sioux Dallas, a widow and a retired public school teacher, has had many animals. She has had cats, dogs, horses, goats, gerbils, snakes and fish. All of her dogs were rescued as were the cats. She trained her dogs to be good guard dogs without being vicious. One horse was dear to her heart and she grieved when he died. He was a rescued horse, as were a majority of hers. She raised, trained the horses and gave riding lessons. She gave free lessons to the blind and mentally challenged. Dallas is active in her church and has been a Bible teacher for many years. Now, in a wheelchair, she writes books and loves to share with people about her experiences. Her graduate studies were in Guidance and Psychology, so she's a good listener and is happy to know she has helped someone.
First Experience is not a complete book on how to ride, but it is designed to help the beginner choose the best horse for their own use and to select the proper stable for the animal. Animals have feelings just as people do, and because people are supposed to have a better brain, we need to be caring and concerned about the animal. They will serve one faithfully and with unconditional love if they are loved and cared for properly. About the Author Sioux Dallas has loved horses all of her life ever since her father put her in front of him on a horse when she was six months old. However she wasn't financially able to own one until she had finished college and started working. Her first horse was the great-grandson of Man O'War. Dallas had taken lessons in licensed establishments, and one of her jumping instructors had ridden with the Queen's Guards in England. She learned well and began giving lessons to beginners. Dallas was also a charter member in the Riding for the Handicapped School and used her horses free of charge to work with the blind and mentally challenged. She was horrified to learn that supposedly intelligent people knew nothing about matching a horse with the ability of the rider. She felt that the many books on horses were excellent, but not for people who had never owned a horse. She decided to share her knowledge and experience to help others and, hopefully, prevent injury to person and abuse to animals.
