About Us
Top Authors, Great Teachers
Trafalgar Square Books takes great pride in our motivated, talented authors from all over the world. These individuals are the movers, shakers, and hard-working professionals—riders, trainers, behaviorists, vets, practitioners, therapists, farriers, and sometimes, just ordinary horse-lovers—who inspire us to include horses as part of our own life and who teach us how to be better friends, caregivers, and educators when interacting with them.
With help from TSB authors, we can all ride better; teach our horses to perform better; feed them and house them more in accordance to their needs; care for them when they fall ill and help them recover from injury; and above all, treat them in a fair and just manner, as they deserve.
We’re Honored to Serve You…and the Horse
It is our honor at Trafalgar Square Books to serve the horse industry to the best of our ability, and to provide horse lovers the world over with beautiful, highly illustrated, well-written books to supplement their growth and development as horse people. We hope our books help you in your pursuit of a joyful life with horses.
Who We Are
Founder, Caroline Robbins
Caroline Robbins was involved in the book publishing world in one form or another for over 50 years. After an early career in London and New York City, where she worked for publishers and literary agents, Caroline and her husband, Ted, made their year-round home in Vermont in 1971, where Caroline began a successful British book distribution business and Ted set up his medical practice. Both avid riders, Caroline and Ted met Sally Swift when she taught them on their farm, and so a new idea was born. With her knowledge and experience in publishing, Caroline was the natural choice to help bring Sally’s book Centered Riding to life, and it became the genesis of the horse book program. The company has left its original Vermont home, but Caroline and Ted continue to live on their beloved farm.
Managing Editor, Neleigh Olson
Neleigh Olson has spent most of her professional career in the saddle as an exercise rider for Thoroughbred racehorses at some of the country’s marquis racetracks, drawn in by a love of horses and the promise of a good story. There, she found plenty of both. After ten years riding on the Kentucky/Florida/New York and California racing circuits, she came back to the Bluegrass for an MFA in Creative Writing from the University of Kentucky, waking up early to gallop horses before classes and teaching. Now, having worked with writers in academia and through organizations like the Carnegie Center, Neleigh gets to combine her two professions as Managing Editor at Trafalgar Square Books. When not writing, she can often be found out in the paddock with her two off-track Thoroughbreds, listening to The Beatles, or last-minute packing for her next adventure.
