5.0 out of 5 stars Long -awaited contribution, April 29, 2001

I am glad someone had finally put together a collection of true horse stories. The stories in this book are not all amazing, but most are only subtly enchanting. They will warm your heart, sometimes bring you to tears. There are, of course, a few astounding tales told in this book. To state an example: the boy who had never spoken before until he saw a pony and said 'Oh! pony!'

Some stories have been contributed by popular equestrian personalities and some others have been written about famous equines. You will find stories of courage, kindness, survival, friendship, and success. I am sure it was a great effort from Kimberly Gatto to put together a book like this. The horse world needed this generous contribution as it helps soften the hearts of those who deal with horses. Truly an inspiration.

I enjoyed reading this book. Some of the stories bring tears to your eyes, and some make you laugh. But they all make you want to run outside and throw your arms around your equine friend. Read it for yourself and then pass it on to a horse buddy, which is what I did.
