Gotta Luv John Henry!

What a guy, John Henry. He wasn't well mannered and everyone knew it, so no one kept him for long. An outcast it seemed and yet something about him made him special. This is a story of what some patience and kindness from the right owner and the right trainer can do in the life of a truant, who happens to be a horse. Steve Haskin is a great writer and this is a wonderful story about one terrific horse. And it just goes to show that older can be better, smarter and also a winner. Like the intro to the book says, "Against All Odds." John Henry is living proof of that.
