Victoria M. Howard and Bob Marks Celebrate Uncrowned Champion MEADOW SKIPPER in New Book

Authors Victoria M. Howard and Bob Marks spin an unofficial autobiography of an uncrowned champion who singlehandedly changed the direction of an entire breed of animals in their book, "Meadow Skipper."

"Meadow Skipper" is an unforgettable saga of an equine Rocky Balboa, who overcame insurmountable odds to emerge as the greatest progenitor since Adam. This story is relayed to authors Howard and Marks -- straight from the horse's mouth as only he could tell it.

"Meadow Skipper was the greatest Standardbred stallion ever to date," shares Howard. "He also was the only horse ever to be embalmed beside Man o' War."

"Meadow Skipper" is not just for animal lovers but also for sports enthusiasts and those who cherish the rags-to-riches underdogs who overcome challenges at any cost. It reads like a breathtaking feel-good roller-coaster ride, and in the end, you too will believe!

Published by Tate Publishing and Enterprises, the book is available through bookstores nationwide, from the publisher at www.tatepublishing.com/bookstore, or by visiting barnesandnoble.com or amazon.com.
