Great for youth and adults who love horses,
By Ina Mae Brooks (Lamar, MO USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Straight from the Heart II: More True Stories of Remarkable Encounters with Once-in-a-Lifetime Horses (Paperback)
This anthology contains good to very-well-written stories about horses and the people who love them. Most of this material appeared on the pages of EQUUS Magazine. The quality of writing in these tales improves after the first few until the horse and rider adventures become real page turners. Some are humorous or touching, others are imaginative or inspiring and some are tragic. The owners are men and women, teens and little children but they all respect and love their mounts. Some of these horses make millions of dollars for their owners while others teach their riders life's lessons. This is an excellent book for any horse owner. Suitable for children mature enough to understand horsemanship. I'm buying copies as presents for the children in my family.
