Doc Moves To The Mountains

“Doc Moves to the Mountains” is a children’s book about Southern Sun Farm Sanctuary’s big draft horse who came from the Outer Banks of North Carolina, to the Blue Ridge Mountains. Doc needed to move because his health and breathing were affected by the heat on the Outer Banks. It is here in the mountains he found his forever home! 

Pam Lather is the author and a volunteer at Southern Sun Farm Sanctuary. She has been an advocate for abused and neglected children in Ohio before moving to North Carolina. Doc has stolen her heart and she wanted to share his story!

The illustrator, Anna Welsh was a school teacher, and after her retirement she continued working with children and adults to have a creative space to use art as an expressive outlet. She truly brought Doc to life in the book!

Doc Makes Friends

“Doc Makes Friends” is the exciting sequel to our first book, “Doc Moves to the Mountains.”

Ashe County author Pam Lather 's first book, "Doc Moves To The Mountains" has been so successful, she has written a new children’s book entitled ”Doc Makes Friends”, continuing the story of Doc the big Belgian draft horse who moved from the Outer Banks of the North Carolina coast to the Blue Ridge Mountains of Western North Carolina to improve his breathing. Doc was new to the Sanctuary and didn't know who else was there or if he'd be able to make new friends. As you'll see, Doc ends up making many new friends at his forever home at Southern Sun Farm Sanctuary.

The illustrator, Anna Welsh was a school teacher, and after her retirement she kept working with children and adults to have a creative space to use art as an expressive outlet. She continues to make her "portrait" of Doc a valuable part of his story!
