I have always loved horses, worked horses, and had a passion to draw. With that combination, I began to create a story in the form of a comic strip, of a family's struggles, good times, and adventures on a ranch. After the completion of 16 pages, I submitted the idea of \u003ci\u003eLife On Th' Rockin' W\u003c\/i\u003e to The Tennessean to become one of their paper's comic strips. They rejected the idea and I returned home somewhat disappointed. Having the responsibility of supporting my family and helping my wife raise our seven children, I put my dream aside. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn 2009, 45 years later, I resurrected my long neglected dream, the story of \u003ci\u003eLife On Th' Rockin' W\u003ci\u003e. The local weekly newspaper began to publish the comic strip and soon afterward had a dedicated following of readers. This book is a collection of the comic strip in its entirety. As the story unfolded there was a colt born, that was given the name \"Sparky\". There was actually a horse in my past named Sparky. I had big dreams for him, maybe the next Trigger. I had to sell him because I had to go to War. The new Sparky that was revealed in the comic strip is in memory of the original. The coloring book \u003ci\u003eSparky and Some Friends\u003c\/i\u003e was created from the story of \u003ci\u003eLife On Th' Rockin' W\u003ci\u003e. Family, true to life characters, friends, and neighbors form the nucleus of the book, along with a host of horses and other animals. I hope you have a good visit with us. \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WestBow Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46865380540567,"sku":"9781449729882","price":1456.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781449729882.webp?v=1769978175","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/life-on-th-rockin-w-9781449729882","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
