4.0 out of 5 stars Awesomeness of Horses, June 22, 2007

By	Betty Mather (seattle, wa) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I thought this collection of short stories were well written, funny, inspiring and heartwarming. I have faced some serious health issues. I was particularly touched by the stories about ones health and how the bond with horses enable people to have strength and perserverance. I don't have a horse but several of my friends do and I gave each of them a copy of the book and they, too, loved it.
