She then married a horse-loving Swede and they moved to Wyoming, buying a ranch and horses. It was at this time she wrote the bestselling Flicka and Thunderhead stories, also set on a ranch in Wyoming and doubtless influenced by her experience of ranch life.
Mary O'Hara also wrote a few other non-horse books and an autobiography.
She was in addition a talented musician and composer and also wrote a musical play called The Catch Colt (see below), later adapted into a novel with slight horse content.
The stories of Flicka and Thunderhead have been adapted into a number of films and TV shows - see link for more detailed information.
