Priscilla Holton Neff
Prisicilla Holton Neff wrote children’s early readers for Ginn. With Theodore Clymer, she wrote How It Is Nowadays, on teaching children to read. She also wrote children’s books for the confident reader, of which Little Miss Callie and Tressa’s Dream are two. Tressa’s Dream is her one horse book: highly unusual in that it features a goat, not the most common partner for a horse.
Finding the book: easy to find in the US. It was not published in the UK.

Tressa’s Dream
D McKay & Co, New York, 1965, illus Marcia Howe, 86 pp.
Tressa doesn’t want a goat in her stables, but one is needed to pull the cart advertising
the new subdivision,
so she gets one. She tries to enjoy it while she’s learning
about horses at Mr Steven’s horse ranch.
