FORT COLLINS, Colorado – Winning Bet, the young-adult horse novel by Karin Livingston chalked up a “delightful” review from The Coloradoan:
In Sunday’s book section, reviewer Nan Hansford called Winning Bet “a delightful young adult story for those who live in the world of horses and competitive events.”
“Livingston owns and runs a local boarding stable and is a career 4H leader specializing 
in horses. She has created a delightful story about a young girl who must show her horse ... and win a blue ribbon before the girl’s father follows through with his threat to send the horse to a slaughterhouse. It is highly recommended for young horse lovers.”

Other reviews:
A must read for the young ladies involved in 4-H horse projects. As a former horse show "Mom" and grandmother of horse-oriented youth, I felt I was reliving a couple of chapters in my earlier life, not to mention occasionally being on the edge of my chair as the story unfolds. -- Amazon reader reviews
“I thought this book was so much fun and would recommend it to any horse loving girl looking for a story! It was a great adventure following these characters through their summer! Looking forward to more!”

“Wonderful story! Very cool!” – Joanna Keiss, Librarian, Saint Joseph School
