- About The Author
- While waiting to turn ten, the age required to join the riders, Lisbeth P. Asay watched here seniors and their horses trot around the outdoor arena at the riding school. When her day to ride finally arrived, it was on Coq D'Or, nicknamed Coggen, a former race horse, that she make her 'debut.' She loved him from the first time he turned his head and snapped his teeth at her or left her lying in the ice-cold mud gazing up at him trotting away. And then, at last, riding Coggen at the canter, knowing he didn't do this for free and he didn't do it for just anyone. Much later, she had a career in newspapers, publishing houses and schools in Norway, but the horses were never forgotten. She became part of the majority of horse lovers in the world: all those who love horses but don't own them. Lisbeth P. Asay lives in Portland with her husband. After moving there from Norway, and realizing it was horse heaven, she looked for a quarter horse to lease for western trail riding. Instead, she stumbled upon Seri, and without planning on it, had her own horse, a mature Dutch Warmblood, of a good family but with a checkered past. As with Coq D'Or, love was instant but not mild and mellow. She sought out Margaret Gill at Highland Stables to help with Seri. One day, when Margaret asked Lisbeth if she would be interested in writing a book about her Lipizzaner stallion, horses and books joined forces to create I, Siglavy.
