BIO

Dandi Daley Mackall grew up riding horses, taking her first solo bareback ride when she was just three. Her best friends were Sugar, a Pinto; Misty, probably a Morgan; and Towaco, an Appaloosa, along with Ash Bill, a Quater Horse; Rocket, a buckskin; Angel, the colt; Butch, anybody's guess; Lancer and Cindy, American Saddlebreds, and Moby, a white Quarter Horse. Dandi and husband, Joe; daughters, Jen and Katy; and son, Dan (when forced) enjoy riding Cheyenne, their paint. Dandi has written books for all ages, including Little Blessings books. Her books (about 400 titles) have sold more than 4 million copies. She writes and rides from rural Ohio.
