November 11th is Veteran’s Day. Navy veteran Valerie Ormond honors that day in her novel "Believing In Horses." Ormond’s novel tells the story of a young girl in a military family who commits to saving unwanted horses from an auction on – yes, Veteran’s Day.
When HorseGirlTV host Angelea Walkup first met Ormond, she asked the veteran if she was the daughter or wife of a military person, or a military member herself. Ormond answered, “All three.”
Walkup describes Ormond as “Retired Navy Captain, and fellow horse girl,” in the episode that describes how she chose to write about unwanted horses and military families, and discusses her upcoming book focusing on equine therapies.

Walkup, too, understands military families, as the wife of a currently-serving Marine Corps officer who recently returned from a deployment to Afghanistan.
Ormond retired following a 25-year career as a Naval Intelligence Officer, and now writes, and rides, full time. For more information about the book or the author, please visit
