Wild Horses Honored in Children's Book "No More Night Mares, A Dream of Freedom"

POINT ROBERTS, WA, June14, 2005 - Wild Heart Ranch, Inc.s’ book release, "No More Night Mares, A Dream of Freedom" honors wild horses in a tale of myth and magic. Wild Heart Ranch, Inc. is a publishing, entertainment and toy company that creates and licenses non-violent toys and products based on original ideas, stories and characters.

Horse people of all ages will love this story about a mythical herd of wild horses destined to light up the night sky. Launching the book comes at a critical point in wild horse history, following a new amendment to the 1971 Wild Free-Roaming Horses and Burros Act. The back of the book lists several well known wild horse preservation groups for horse lovers to research and support.

The company hopes to help build further awareness for the plight of wild horses through the "No More Night Mares" line of plush toys and books, as well as through its interactive, website, www.WildHeartRanch.com. The amendment to the 1971 Wild Free-Roaming Horses and Burros Act allows for the sale of wild horses to foreign markets, if the horse is over the age of 10, or if younger, then after they have unsuccessfully been offered for adoption three times. Wild horse advocates are currently lobbying to get the bill reversed. To learn more, please visit some of the recent news at http://www.wildheartranch.com/kidsclub/kc_endangeredAnimalNews.asp#wh

Book Excerpt: "Night Mares look down upon us and watch over us. It's their dream that there will always be wild horses living on the land below as a reminder of freedom. We can chase them from the lands, but we can't reach them in the stars. So, if you awaken to a storm with lightning and thunder on a dark night, it may just be the Night Mares, streaking across the sky...."

"We don't have to be afraid of the dark...
Night Mares prance brilliantly against a background of black sky and glowing stars to light our way to a time long forgotten. Gaze up into their bright lights and they will guide you through the darkest of nights. And if you believe in them, they will fill you with a magical power.

Listen to the call of the wild herd and remember..."
