Author Kristen Halverson published the children’s book The Tale of Willhanna: A Horse’s Magical Birthday in April. This is third book in the series in which a portion of the proceeds support the equine protozoal myeloencephalitis (EPM) research program run by Dan Howe, PhD, professor at the University of Kentucky (UK) Gluck Equine Research Center.

To date, Halverson has donated $1,285 from book proceeds. The series also includes The Tale of Noel: The Holiday Horse Angel and The Tale of Josephine Rose: A Horse’s Magical Neigh.

Halverson said she continues to support the Gluck Center because she strongly values its mission of improving horse health and well-being. She hopes to raise an additional $2,000 from the proceeds of The Tale of Willhanna: A Horse’s Magical Birthday
