I am thrilled to share that The Horses of Saddlers Ranch: Cloud is now a Distinguished Favorite in the 2026 Independent Press Awards in the 'Middle-Grade' category 

The Horses of Saddlers Ranch: Cloud is about A frustrated man struggles to control a restless horse while several people watch. The horse reacts with irritation and refuses to cooperate. A girl in a cab complains to her father, saying this behavior is the reason they cannot keep the horse. She insists she needs a dependable one and wants to ride her better behaved horse, Secret Service, when they return home.
