Electra

By Sarah Pinter

Book Overview

"Have you ever wondered about the old horse as you stare at her in her stable? Have you ever wondered if she's lived a life of joy or sorrow? Have you ever cared about her health or comfort? If you have, then follow my story. This is the story of my life."

Electra, a palomino American Quarter Horse, was born on a happy little farm where she lived with her mother and their loving owners. But then her life took a sudden turn, and like most horses, she was sold. Now, as she grows into a young mare, her life is in the hands of many different people, some of them loving and caring, others cruel and ignorant. She experiences happy times and makes many friends, but she also endures tragedy. Electra struggles to overcome her misguided training, and to cope with many different owners, yet she never loses hope. But will her fortune ever change, and will she ever find a final, happy home?
