Welcome!
We are having a TREASURE HUNT! Can you help Quincy the Horse solve a Mystery?
The Quincy the Horse Books are on the shelves in selected locations of a national chain bookstore, but we do not know where. We need some DETECTIVES on the case!
HOW IT WORKS...Find a copy of Quincy Finds A New Home or Quincy Moves to the Desert at any location of the well known chain bookstore. Take a picture of the book in the children's section. Email the picture to us at pathfinder1908@gmail.com and tell us where the store is located.
Pathfinder will send you a free autographed copy of Quincy Moves to the Desert and the first 10 winners will receive an i-Tunes gift card. No purchase is necessary to enter the TREASURE HUNT.

Reviews

“Quincy learns everyone is loved for who he, she is” - Albuquerque Journal. Read the review.
“A gentle heartwarming story...perfect for young horse lovers” - Children's Book Watch, Midwest Book Review
This classic, keepsake book is the the perfect gift for children ages 4-9.
The author and illustrator have done just about everything with horses. Author Camille Matthews provides Equine Assisted Psychotherapy (EAP) using rescue horses. She is an avid trail rider and lover of American Quarter horses. Illustrator Michelle Black is a professional trainer of dressage riders, a consultant on horse nutrition and a proponent of barefoot trimming for the natural hoof.
Camille and Michelle agree that the creation of the Quincy the Horse Books is their favorite project so far. For them it is an opportunity to express an artistic vision but more important an effort to bring the joys and challenges of life with horses to children who may never have direct contact with a horse.
They believe children will bond with Quincy. They note that children and horses share many qualities including sensitivity, authenticity, expressive communication and the need to rely on others for physical care. Both agree that the Quincy the Horse children’s books were born from a conviction that horses are good for children and children are good for horses. More about the author and illustrator.
