Description:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Meet Rosie, the big horse with even bigger dreams! In Rosie\u2019s Wild Ride, Clydesdale horse Rosie and her cowgirl friend Oakley want to be rodeo stars, but what happens when the competition doesn\u2019t quite go as planned? In this beautiful, inspiring picture book, readers will learn the importance of teamwork, chasing their dreams, and daring to ask, \u201cWhat if I can?<\/strong>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rosie the Clydesdale is a BIG horse. She likes her life on the ranch and helping the farmer with his chores, but she also has a secret dream: she wants to be a rodeo star. She finally gets her chance when she teams up with a plucky cowgirl named Oakley, but the rodeo events aren\u2019t designed for a big horse like Rosie. When a rogue bull disrupts the competition, though, Rosie and Oakley might be the only ones big and brave enough to stop him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From debut children\u2019s author Paige Murray comes a rodeo adventure complete with roping, riding, and racing\u2014based on real animals from her own Texas ranch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My Thoughts:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Clydesdales are big horses that are used for pulling. Rosie works on the farm, but dreams of being a rodeo star. She finally gets her chance when Oakley’s parents want her to have a gentle horse. They practice and join the rodeo, but Rosie’s size make competitions like barrel racing difficult. But the bull gets loose they need a big horse to bring him back. Oakley rides Rosie to the rescue. Without winning a single event Rosie and Oakley are the stars of the rodeo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This book, written by the wife of rodeo star Ty Murray, features cowgirl Oakley and Rosie the Clydesdale. The Murrays really have a daughter named Oakley and a Clydesdale named Rosie. When I read that at the end of the book it made the story that much more special. I love when authors write stories that have special meaning to their family, but are also universally appealing. I think kids will love Rosie’s story and the message of reaching for your dreams.<\/p>\n\n\n
