For the Love of the Horse 1

By Ann Jamieson

An amazing selection of heartwarming true horse stories that run from uplifting and inspirational to downright hysterical."This book is an enthralling read for all horse lovers. The stories are poignant and memorable and...just the right length for busy horse people! A great gift for all ages, too." Barbara Messina, "Today's Equestrian"Read about Homer, a Quarter Horse who helped his owner get through the the grief of losing her brother in the World Trade Center. Or Blackie, a Quarter Horse/Morgan cross who grew up together with his young rider, and then taught future generations to ride. Linda Eder tells the story of Ben, the Quarter Horse who remains the favorite out of all the horses she has owned. Keaton and his rookie rider Stacie Shepski were never meant to compete in Grand Prix. But, because of their faith in each other, they did, and did so well that at one point they stood first for Rookie of the Year. Iroquois was rescued right out of a slaughterhouse, and the American Thoroughbred brought his owner to the International Arena at the Wellington Winter Equestrian Festival. MacGregor would have been put down if it weren't for Michelle Clopp saving him. In return he became her best school horse ever, and a character to boot! Nitro was wild, untameable, a rogue. Except for one man, whose patience for Nitro was rewarded with a new life for his family, and a new mission on earth. Soldier didn't look like much, but he made it possible for an elderly man to live his dreams until the day that he died.
