Cowboy-Up Holiday Book Tour and Fund Raiser

to Benefit Therapeutic Riding and Horse Rescues

 After 20 years of working in the horse world as a professional and publishing over 1000 magazine articles and 13 books, Bonnie Marlewski-Probert created the Horse Tales for the Soul series of seven books and most recently, the historic audio series which includes the actual authors reading their own stories.  

Last fall Bonnie partnered with NARHA centers around the country to help them raise funds through the sales of the Horse Tales for the Soul books. The tour ran for thirty days and more than 5000 miles, raising thousands of dollars for NARHA centers along the way. We were proud of our success on that tour!

·        NARHA and Therapeutic Riding Centers rely on the horse as a therapy tool to enhance the lives of mentally, physically and emotionally challenged individuals. These centers depend on volunteers and fund raising efforts to continue the important, life changing work they do everyday.  

·        Horse Rescue Facilities are dedicated to rescuing, rehabilitating, and placing unwanted, neglected and abused horses. The deteriorating economy is causing more and more owners to surrender their horses and these facilities rely heavily on fund raising efforts to continue their important work.   

In support of these organizations and their mission, Horse Tales for the Soul has launched the first ever virtual Cowboy-Up Holiday Tour and Fund Raiser in an effort to help hundreds of these wonderful facilities around the country raise the funds they need to continue making a difference in the lives of people and horses everyday. Throughout the tour, our partner facilities will be selling the Horse Tales for the Soul books and brand new audio books to raise money for their organization and we need your participation to make it work!  

During the tour, which officially kicks off on October 6 and runs through the end of December 2008, each participating center will earn 20% from the sale of Horse Tales for the Soul books and audio books through their affiliate link or directly from their center and volunteers hands-on fund raising efforts.  

ü      The Horse Tales For The Soul Books and Audio Books make fabulous gifts for yourself and for all the horse-crazy people in your life. Whether you simply enjoy horse-related true stories or are looking for character building, life lessons that will inspire and motivate, these books and Audio Books have both - in each story.

ü      As a special thank you for your support of the Cowboy-Up Holiday Tour, Bonnie Marlewski-Probert has agreed to personally autograph each and every book purchased through the tour FREE of charge making this a wonderful, personal gift for all horse lovers for the holidays! 

 We are proud to be working with centers in more than 25 states and we want to encourage you to support the centers in YOUR state. In addition to helping centers around the country financially through the sale of the heart warming Horse Tales for the Soul books and audio books, we are also going to honor the top sellers each week by providing them with special gifts.  Won't you help YOUR State's center be next week's winner by visiting our website at horsetalesforthesoul.com/partners.htm and supporting the center in your state?
