A Land Filled With Horses: The Yanci Ranch
In this nonfiction book, “A Land Filled With Horses: The Yanci Ranch,” Robyn reveals a horse-rescue operation that took place on a secluded ranch in Northern California. Two men raised registered sporthorses on the remote, 800-acre ranch. But when they had a falling out, one partner left, while the other man allowed his share of spotted draft horses to run free and reproduce indiscriminately. It was estimated that 500 horses roamed freely on the ranch over a 17-year period. When a drought occurred, there was not enough pasture grass to support the herd and the animals broke through the fences in search of food. At that point, the plight of the horses became evident and caring people stepped in to rescue the semi-feral herd.

Robyn Rominger holds a copy of her book, A Land Filled With Horses, at the Woodland (California) Public Library’s recent Read, Rumble and Rev book fair. Community members attended the family-friendly literacy event that included different types of vehicles on display and free books to encourage reading for pleasure.
