About the author

Janet Del Castillo does it her way. She keeps her horses on her farm in Florida, gallops them through orange groves, and is confirmed in ther moral convictions. "I will not train a horse that I know is is pain. Nor will I train a horse that is unaware of the pain he has. If the owner feels otherwise, the horse goes to another trainer."

She is an affirmed believer that the little guy can win, that hard work and tenacity will payoff, and that dreams can come true. She became successful as a trainer with a throw away horse donated to a children's home. A divorced mother of three, that horse saved her farm and helped put her children through school.

While her book can be found on Amazon, the HorsesDaily Book Club likes to support their authors by encoring our readers to buy direct. You can purchase Janet's DVD and book package at this page.
