Susan Carpenter Noble traveled around the country teaching riding clinics and training horses for twenty years, sharing the knowledge she had gained from some of the great horsemen of her day. When she settled down to raise her family, she continued coaching kids on their horses while working as a school teacher and occasionally writing for regional and national horse magazines. Now retired from 'real jobs', she writes novels geared toward horse crazy kids and ranch kids. To her surprise, she has found that her books appeal to a wide range of ages and are getting good reviews from 'kids' aged eight to eighty.

Her debut novel, Cowgirls Don't Quit, is a modern-day tale, set in southwestern Colorado, that follows young Meghan as she goes on her first cattle drive with her best friend Xender and his grandpa. Meghan has already learned that “there's more to likin' horses than just ridin' em.” Now she must learn how to help with the gathering, innoculating, banding, branding, and all the details that go into preparing the cattle for summer pasture. She also figures out how to keep them safe along the drive as some two-legged varmints stir up trouble.

Her second novel, The Free Horse, follows Meghan's mis-adventures when her parents accept a horse from “a friend of a friend who is moving out of town.” Bruises and hard lessons are the price Meghan must pay as she learns to train her “free” horse. Unexpectedly, when Meghan sets a goal to win the title of Rodeo Princess, her best friend, Xender, turns against her. And now her friend Emma, who has Down syndrome, has a crisis with her own sweet, old horse. Suddenly, Meghan must decide how much she is willing to sacrifice for friendship.

Autographed copies of her books will be available during the 2020 Four States Ag Expo.
