This lovely collection tells of the hope and healing that comes from contact with horses. Whether used to give disabled riders a sense of freedom and mobility, to heal wounds of childhood abuse, to assist with work, or simply as loving companions, horses bond with people in ways that change them for the better. The stories, contributed by people from all over the country and from all walks of life, introduce Cholla, the horse who paints pictures; a veterinarian who was reminded of the importance of compassion by a dying horse and a Native American chief; Star, a horse who saved a teenage girl from suicide; the late-blooming rider who embarrassed a horse and learned an important lesson about respecting the feelings of others — even if they have four legs; and many others. Whether running through fields or performing intricate dressage drills, horses carry not only riders but messages of unconditional love and hope.
Customer Review: Beautiful collection
This is a beautiful, inspirational collection of real life stories of the love, lessons learned and spirtiual connections that people have with horses. Each story is sensitively told in the own words of the horse's owner/or the person who has the story to tell. The book's major focus is on the spirituality and sensitivity of the horse and just how deep that goes in these beautiful creatures. A gentle plea for people to open their hearts and minds to the wisdom and love horses have to offer at all stages of their lives. I found the book to be touching and refreshing.
Customer Review: Angel Horses
Moving, heart-tugging, heart-warming, encouraging. This book hits all of those emotions! A great gift for the animal Lover--especially of horses (of course!!) Short stories make it easy to pick up and put down for a busy schedule too.
