Few of God's creatures are as noble and soul-stirring as the
horse. Even those of us who don't have horses of our own love to
read inspiring stories of these beautiful, regal beasts.
With contributions from well-known authors such as Lauraine
Snelling, Susy Flory, Rebecca E. Ondov, Wanda Dyson, and Sarah
Parshall Perry, these true stories of horses and the people who
love them are sometimes touching, sometimes humorous, and sometimes
miraculous. As she did in her dog and cat story collections, Callie
Grant Smith has compiled another perfect read for animal
lovers--this time with horses as the subject.
Shining coat flashing in the sun. Silky mane rippling in the
wind. A toss of the head and the stamp of a hoof.
Few of God's creatures are as noble and soul-stirring as the horse.
Even those of us who aren't lucky enough to have horses of our own
seem to have an innate desire to connect with these beautiful,
regal beasts. As children we read stories about them, collected
models of them, and tacked posters of them up on our walls.
Throughout history they have carried us and calmed us, pulled our
loads and pulled at our heartstrings. They give us a taste of
wildness and yet make us feel at home.
In this inspiring collection, you'll meet horses who show up at the
right time, who help their humans learn important truths, and who
rescue the very people who rescued them. These true stories of
horses and the people who love them are sometimes touching,
sometimes humorous, and sometimes miraculous. Always they are
inspiring, like the horses themselves. They will touch your heart,
renew your spirit, and show you that surely God had us in mind when
he created these magnificent creatures.
