METAMORA – Meet Mary Chris Foxworthy. She loves horses and is dedicated to preserving their history. Her passion for horses started when her grandfather owned one of the last horse-drawn milk wagon creameries in the United States. After college, she fulfilled her dream of owning a Morgan horse.
Throughout her journey, she has been involved in various equine associations, worked as a Research Writer for The Equine Heritage Institute, and contributed to eighteen books in the Gloria Austin Collection. She has also traveled and presented equine educational programs.
Her work has resulted in a series of books called Hoofbeats Through History, which brings to life the impact of horses on human history for children. The books focus on the story of H.D. Harkness (Hark), a Morgan horse, and explore the evolution of horses and their roles in wars, laws, and the development of American horse breeds.
The Hoofbeats Through History series complements classical education principles, helping children develop critical thinking and logical reasoning skills. Mary Chris invites you to join her on an exhilarating journey through the history of horses from their perspective.
Hark, her beloved Morgan horse, will lead engaging presentations at various locations, sharing a brief history of horse evolution. Participants will have a memorable photo session with Hark and an exclusive book signing.
Mary Chris also offers a customized package for camps, associations, businesses, fundraisers, and community organizations. This package includes a personal meeting with Hark, a customized photo shoot, engaging activities, and a copy of Hark’s book, “Hark! Follow My Hoofbeats.”
