Denni-Jo And Pinto

"My name is Denni-Jo and I’m a real-life cowgirl. I ride horses and rope cattle on our ranch. We have horses, cows, dogs, and cats—which means plenty of chores. It doesn’t matter if you are a boy or girl, big or small; everyone pitches in and does their share. Once the chores are done there’s plenty of time for fun— and surprises! Join me, and my pony, Pinto, on an adventure neither of us will soon forget. Saddle up and let’s go!" -- Buck Buchanan
