Seven Sets of Horseshoes
by Lynn Lloyd
I rode a horse across the United States in 1973, accompanied by my dog Puddles. I traveled from Pennsylvania to California in seven months, recording each day’s events in my diary. I wrote the first draft of this manuscript in 1974. Thirty years later, with the invaluable help of my sister Carol, we crafted that draft into the following account of an experience that shaped my life forever after. Hope you enjoy it. Lynn Lloyd
