In Time for Holiday Giving-- Nonny and the Peppermint Lady
"Nonny and the Peppermint Lady is an engaging, heartwarming story that gives an honest picture of what awaits many thoroughbreds once their racing days are done. Nonny's life after racing was almost cut short by the band of the auctioneer's gavel, but she was lucky and survived to enrich the lives of those around her. This story is a testament to what ordinary, everyday ex-racehorses like Nonny can achieve: full, productive lives when given the opportunity. Unfortunately, in America today, thousands of thoroughbreds like Nonny do not get that chance."
