Local author brings presentation, horse to Silver Saddle Ranch

Terri Farley, author of the popular "Phantom Stallion" children's book series, will talk about her love of reading, writing and wild horses to Carson City youth during a special presentation at

1 p.m. Saturday at the Silver Saddle Ranch, where she will bring along a wild horse.

The presentation is part of the Carson City Library and Nevada Appeal's Literacy for Life initiative to raise awareness and promote reading throughout the community.

In researching her work, the Verdi resident has ridden across the Nevada desert in a Pony Express re-enactment, spent 10 days in the saddle for a Nevada-California cattle drive and job-shadowed paniolos on Hawaii, according to her website.

As part of the program, the Carson City Library also will host a showing of the documentary "Cloud: Wild Stallion of the Rockies," at 5:30 p.m. Oct. 5 in the auditorium.

Call 887-2244 ext. 1019 to reserve a spot.
