Wild Heart Ranch Awarded 2005 SEAL OF EXCELLENCE AWARD and PREFFERED CHOICE AWARD For Children’s Boo

POINT ROBERTS, WA, Delta, B.C. July 13, 2005 - Wild Heart Ranch, Inc was acknowledged for their creative and magical children’s toys and book lines by the 2005 Top Creative Toy Awards panel, awarding them the PREFERRED CHOICE AWARD and SEAL OF EXCELLENCE on two of their new products. The ‘No More Nightmares’, a 14’ inch plush horse with a magical nightlight to fend off children’s nightmares in the night won the PREFERRED CHOICE AWARD (Plush Toys for Kids category). As well, the ‘No More Night Mares, a Dream of Freedom’ book, a mythical children’s picture book about a herd of wild horses destined to light up the night sky, won the SEAL OF EXCELLENCE AWARD (Storybooks for Kids category). Wild Heart Ranch, Inc. is a publishing, entertainment and toy company that creates and licenses non-violent toys and products based on original ideas, stories and characters.

The ‘No More Night Mares’ were reintroduced in 2005 and revised since their previous years and are even cuddlier than before. Moonbeam, Lucky Stars, and Comet are now made from a softer plush and have the signature gold stars on their hooves and hips. Their blaze still lights up to keep children’s nightmares at bay during the night and the three mares now include a comb to brush their manes and tails with.

The ‘No More Night Mares, a Dream of Freedom’ book is a mythical legend about a herd of wild horses that run free from man and escape to freedom in the night sky. The story tells children why they should not fear the dark since the "Night Mares" are watching over all of us. Horse lovers of all different ages will love this story and enjoy the beautiful artwork done by Kim McElroy, a well known artist in the Horse industry out of Seattle, WA.

The 'No More Night Mares' series of 14" plush horses (three mares, Comet, Moonbeam and Lucky Stars) also have a night light situated on their blaze, (the white triangle shaped spot on a horse's face) that lights up a piece of the sky for children to fall asleep next to. Each comes with a comb and an identifiable Wild Heart gold star horse brand.

Book Excerpt: "Night Mares look down upon us and watch over us. It's their dream that there will always be wild horses living on the land below as a reminder of freedom. We can chase them from the lands, but we can't reach them in the stars. So, if you awaken to a storm with lightning and thunder on a dark night, it may just be the Night Mares, streaking across the sky...."

"We don't have to be afraid of the dark...
Night Mares prance brilliantly against a background of black sky and glowing stars to light our way to a time long forgotten. Gaze up into their bright lights and they will guide you through the darkest of nights. And if you believe in them, they will fill you with a magical power.


Listen to the call of the wild herd and remember..."
