Robin Hutton has spent her adult life working in major event productions and the motion picture business. She was the writing and producing partner of Tom “Billy Jack” Laughlin for over thirty years until his death in 2013.
Currently she is President of Angels Without Wings, Inc., a 501(c)3 non-profit corporation that spearheaded the development and dedication of six national monuments to Sgt. Reckless, the famous Korean War horse. Her first book, Sgt. Reckless: America‘s War Horse, was a New York Times Bestseller, as well as the 2015 Equine Book of the Year from American Horse Publications, and a 2016 Gold Medal winner from Military Writers Society of America. Her latest book, War Animals: The Unsung Heroes of World War II, was a 2019 Gold Medal winner from Military Writers Society of America. The heroes in this book inspired a new project, the Animals in War & Peace Medal of Bravery and Distinguished Service Medals. The inaugural ceremony for this medal was held on November 14, 2019 in Washington, DC on Capitol Hill. This ceremony also launched the Animals In War & Peace Museum - a traveling museum to commemorate these war animals who fought side-by-side with our military war heroes. About Sgt. Reckless: America's War Horse
She wasn't a horse—she was a Marine.
She might not have been much to look at—a small "Mongolian mare," they called her—but she came from racing stock, and had the blood of a champion. Much more than that, Reckless became a war hero—in fact, she became a combat Marine, earning staff sergeant's stripes before her retirement to Camp Pendleton. This once famous horse, recognized as late as 1997 by Life Magazine as one of America's greatest heroes—the greatest war horse in American history, in fact—has unfortunately now been largely forgotten. But author Robin Hutton is set to change all that. Not only has she been the force behind recognizing Reckless with a monument at the National Museum of the Marine Corps and at Camp Pendleton, but she has now recorded the full story of this four-legged war hero who hauled ammunition to embattled Marines and inspired them with her relentless, and reckless, courage.

I met such fabulous horse people at the EQUUS Film Festival, but most of all, I loved meeting fellow equestrian authors who I can now call friends. We had fun galloping around New York City together and exchanging writing/publishing/marketing tips for horse books during the fest!
