Blackjack Cowboy
Book Five, Story Four
Blackjack Cowboy is a beautiful black stallion of the Kentucky Mountain Saddle Horse breed. When I first saw Cowboy at a distance, his beauty and elegance took my breath away…I just had to meet him! It was at an event where I was selling my children’s books and I left my table, walked right over to Cowboy, and petted him and talked to him. Only after my time with Cowboy did I introduce myself to his owner, Konny Troupe. Konny and I have since become good friends…I always love to visit her and Cowboy! Konny shared a story with me about her grandmother, Kathryn, and Cowboy and I included that story in this book before Story Five, “Honor Your Elders.”
What Our Readers Say…

My great niece, Gianna, loves animals and I knew the Adventures at Green Apple Acres book series would be a wonderful Christmas gift for her, so I purchased all three books. Gianna read the stories in all three books and enjoyed all of the adventures of the farm animals. To add to the excitement, I arranged a visit to Cynthia’s farm for Gianna and me. Gianna got to meet Shiloh! Those two bonded like they knew each other forever! We could tell in Gianna’s eyes during our visit that she was on top of the world! Many of the animals at Cynthia’s farm are in the stories of her books. Thank you, Cynthia, for writing these stories. The stories not only give children an opportunity to escape into another world, but also, they teach life lessons. Gianna and I are looking forward to future books and more adventures for the animals on the farm!
