SUMMARY:Girls Horse Club 2009 Fiction Competition
DESCRIPTION:Horses Inspire Girls to Read and Write\n\nJune 25, 2009 - 
 Girls love horses. It doesn't matter if they live in the North America
 , South America, Europe, Asia or beyond--girls are connected to horses
  and horses connect girls.\n\nSince 2001 Girls Horse Club™ has edite

 horse girls while providing a safe and fun online community. Each summ

 g, photography, games, and more. This year we're raising the bar with 
 a fiction competition judged by high-profile children's writers and me
 dia experts Terri Farley, Sharon Lerner and Jessica Burkhart. The goal
  is to give young authors a boost of confidence and a leg up toward ac
 hieving their goals, along with some fun prizes and great content for 
 readers.\n\nEntries are accepted starting Saturday June 27 and ending 
 August 23, 2009. Winners will be announced September 12, 2009. Prizes
