About the author:

D.L. Rodriguez was born and raised in southern California and graduated from UCLA. After graduating from law school, the author practiced law for several years in northern California. While a lawyer, the author had little time to spend with horses, so when Rodriguez was able to retire, the author took up her passion for horses. About that majestic animal, Rodriguez says: "Horses make great company. They are honest, loving, and very expressive animals. I can look at a horse and know what it is thinking just by its stance and the facial expression. I spend a great deal of time at my little ranch raising, training, and riding my horses. My horses are hunters and jumpers and they appear periodically at horse shows. My other pets, the pygmy goats and cats, also get a great deal of my attention, and they have a lot to say."
