                                        COMMENTS FROM FANS 

"I don't know if I can express how I feel about your book. It is beautifully written, beautifully worded...it is just a wonderful book. Even though I knew the story, once I started reading it, I couldn't put it down. As I read it, I knew it was coming from your heart...that is what makes it such a great book. You have paid tribute to Freedom and your parents in an outstanding way and should feel such joy at what you have accomplished. This is a book people will never forget." -Mrs. Dottie Doss 

"Horse at the Corner Post moved me with many endearing emotions.  It put me right there in each phase/experience of Denise's years with Freedom. I laughed, smiled and cried...and smiled again. As a girl who had always wanted a horse, Denise and Freedom's story allowed me to have a glimpse into the wonderful relationship between a girl and her horse, that I had long given up on. Thanks for that gift!" -Maria Ward Livesay 

"Loved your book! Read it all in one sitting.  Told several of my fellow horse lovers it was a must-read!" -Linda McLellan 

"Upon reading Ms. Branco's book, I was enthralled with the connection between her and her horse, Freedom. This was a very heartwarming story of a girl, and then young woman, with a special bond.  As a retired school teacher and grandmother, I believe people of all ages will enjoy this well-written, true story." -Gloria Garcia 

"The sincere love and joy of the relationship between Denise and Freedom canters across every page." -LaRae Bustamante

"Denise has made a wonderful tribute to a friend that grew up with her, left for awhile, but fate (and Denise's passion) brought them back together.  What a wonderful concern for her departed friend." -Bob Quinlan, Author

"The cover of this book gets me every time. There he stands, loyal to his position at the corner fence, waiting for something he knows will always come back. And she did, as Denise tells in this story. Every girl can relate to the story, just as every girl wants someone or something to love. Even as we age, we never shed our little girl dreams, and we always long for our Freedoms."-Kimberly A.Edwards, Author and Travel Writer

"The thread of compassion was evident from the beginning to the end between Denise and Freedom. The two never really separated as Denise held Freedom close at heart in memories. Freedom knew she was always by his side on the incredible journey back home to her." -Debi Swarts-Wilson

"I read Horse at the Corner Post and cried...and then read it again and cried...but they were happy tears." -Lucinda Warren

"I read Horse in short order, not just because it was a small book but because I had trouble putting it down. I needed to know about this horse: Freedom. Now, while it's true that many books are crafted so well that as a reader one can easily get caught up in the writer's skill, in this case there is some of that but it's the natural flow of passion which comes shining through on the page. We get a lot of tell here, admittedly, but for some reason Denise's voice embraces with such sincerity that it's an easy hurdle to jump. I felt for her; I felt for her journey, and I felt for the horse. Horse at the Corner Post is a wonderful story for adults, children, animal lovers and anyone who even finds they must care for the sick or elderly. The lessons of compassion, joy, heartache and eternal friendship are there in full as we journey with Denise to find that which makes her heart beat; her horse, Freedom. I highly recommend this quick read as it serves to remind everyone of a key point -- that when you trust your gut, rewards abound." -Babz Bitela, Agent*Silver Bitela Agency

"A heartwarming story told with passion from a great equestrian caregiver and talented writer.  We loved Denise's story. We were so impressed that we both sent copies to members of our family.  Her book reminded us of how strong and important love and dedication is. As her first and third grade teachers, we felt Denise was an exemplary student from the beginning. Even way back then, she signed her stories as "author". Indeed, she has proven to be one of the best." -Mrs. Maxwell and Mrs. Rollins, former teachers at Chenoweth Elementary School

"I loved reading Horse at the Corner Post.  I took the book to school on the day everyone brought in their favorite book.  It was fun telling everyone about Freedom's adventures.  I loved the book so much, I am giving one to the school library and one to my favorite teacher!" -Ashley, Age 6, Overland Park, Kansas
