THE PHANTOM STALLION'S LEGACY


Phantom's Pride, photo by Liz Juenke, May 2011

Dear Readers,
Does this beautiful mustang stallion look familiar?
He's Phantom's Pride, son of the real Phantom Stallion. Some of you remember him as this little black foal (photo by Palomino Armstrong, Feb. 2007). You may even have entered the contest to name him.


Phantom's Pride lives on 5,000 fenced acres at the Wild Horse Sanctuary in Shingletown, California. Expelled from his family band -- as most young stallions are -- he now has a small herd of his own and that's exciting for many reasons.
When the first Phantom Stallion book was published, some people laughed at the idea that such a young stallion could have a herd of his own. And some critics refused to believe a black foal could grow up to be a white stallion, even if he passed through a transitional color shift of silver gray, like the surface of the moon.
Look at Pride! He's proving fiction & fact aren't always that far apart.

Happy trails,
Terri
