Book Overview
A delightful, horse-lover's mystery adventure story, for all middle-grade to adult readers, who are never too old to enjoy a story about horses.
Julia Beemer lived an idyllic life on her parent's Quarter Horse ranch, in Wyoming. Tragedy strikes, and Casia, her mother's horse, becomes Julia's best friend and soul mate. The gentle chestnut mare comforts Julia through her darkest days.
Tragedy strikes a second time at the Beemer Ranch when Casia gives birth to Ace, a feisty young colt, born with an extraordinary marking on his forehead.
A neighbor's filly goes missing, then Ace disappears from the ranch. Searchers come up empty-handed.
BOTH HORSES HAVE MYSTERIOUSLY DISAPPEARED
Put on your spurs and climb aboard.
Read Ace, The Black Stallion, to find out where the missing horses have been, and why Julia thinks it should be kept a secret.
***
* A must-read, even if you've never owned a horse. *
An excellent choice to encourage independent reading, and read-aloud for teachers in the classroom. Appropriate for homeschool materials, and middle-grade school libraries.
***NOTE: Includes non-violent death, and a lightly graphic description of a veterinarian assisting a horse having difficulties while giving birth***
SAVE AND PROTECT THE WILD HORSES OF NORTH AMERICA
In my story, Julia finds out about the devastating, and often fatal, occurrences, during wild horse round-ups. Although my story is fictional, the terror and horrors these horses experience during the round-ups, is anything but fictional.
An emblem of the American West and once numbering in the millions, the wild horse is considered by some today as a resource to be exploited or a pest to be eliminated.
Now the wild horse is on the verge of being removed entirely from public lands. Helping now is more important than ever. Contact wildhoofbeats.com to find out how you can help, or donate.
I only wish that all the wild horses and burros could live protected, where they can live in peace, wild and free.

"Every little girl should know a horse's love, and every horse should have their own little girl. Those of us that have known that love, are never complete without a horse in their lives."
