series
of books, ENJOY!
"I am constantly amazed at how deeply horses touch
our souls. These stories continue to show us how lucky we are to have these
animals in our lives. It doesn't matter if you own/ride horses or simply love
horses, this book is here to remind us about how horses touch our spirit and
guide us through pivotal life experiences. We are so lucky to have them and
these personal stories!" Kathleen Castro, President. The Santana Center
for Equine Education and Outreach (www.thesantanacenter.org).
"While reviewing Horse Tales for the Soul I found
that this book had such wonderful stories I couldn't help but share them with
my son. Ian, my 8 month old son, enjoyed many of the tales, sitting very
quietly listening closely, and always turning to see why I had momentarily
stopped reading to wipe away a tear. Thank you to all the authors who have
shared such emotional pieces of their hearts with horse lovers everywhere. I
found so many stories I could relate to in so many ways, whether a tissue box
was needed or not. After I finished reading the last story I couldn't help but
feel the urge to go out and get my own horse to start having my own horse tales
to share..." Tifane Grayce Worsley. Artist & at home Mom. Reno, NV,
USA.
"You are not alone. We belong to a herd of horse
people who all deeply love these beautiful equines. Read about the
heart-warming relationships between horses and humans, and the miracles that
sometimes occur. Be prepared to exercise all your emotions... and want
more." Helen Mason, Hackers' Hideaway - Avid Rider for 37 years.
"Thank you so much for allowing me to take a peek
into these author's lives. These stories cover such a broad range of
circumstances and yet they all have the same common denominator; a love for
horses, especially that one special horse in one's life. I loved them and was
so encouraged by these authors and their perseverance. Wonderful! Another life
long horse lover from Florida." Rosemary Nolen, Lakeland Florida, USA.
"We all have special friends in our lives, and
perhaps none more special than our equine friends. Horse Tales for the Soul
takes a look at the extraordinary bonds between horses and people. From the
tiniest miniature to the largest warmblood, from the beginning of new life to
the end of a long one, you will finish the book feeling inspired and in awe of
the joy in these relationships." Linda P, La Porte Indiana, USA.
"This book is a fine composite of stories told from
the heart of human/horse relationships... A horse is honest, forgiving, loving,
never divulges secrets and is very perceptive. A good book to read again and
again." Howard Powers, life long horse owner and trainer. Author of
numerous horse articles and one non-horse-related book. Marion, Iowa.
"I am a horse lover from early childhood and am a
senior now. Because of health problems I have had to give up riding so thus I
walked away from my love. This book reunited me with that love and brought back
so many memories. I laughed and cried along with the authors and the loves of
their lives. It is a wonderful book and I am so glad I have had the chance to
read it. It truly shows the value of a horse in the family. No one should miss
these opportunities... Truly a "treasure "of stories." Rosemary
Nolen, Lakeland, Florida.
"In between the tears of joy and sorrow in reading
these heart-warming tales, I have again felt the awe and wonder, the generosity
of spirit in the connection between horses and their humans. It takes a lot of
wisdom and courage (let alone a good sense of humor) to live our lives,
especially when it comes down to proper horsemanship, and I for one am honored
to have shared these amazing tales... Thank you all." Bandy Schmidt,
Life-long horse lover, proud companion of Joe the Quarab. Lake Five, Wisconsin.
"Over a decade ago I stopped riding as a serious
hobby. Today, after reading this book, I have been inspired to again take up
this sport. While reading these pages I was reminded of the great learning,
joy, friendship and inspiration that horses brought to my life, and how much I
miss them. Thank you to all of authors for sharing their amazing stories and
for providing the motivation to make new friends." Linda P, La Porte
Indiana.
"Loosen the reins of your heart as you read of horses
that have touched and enriched each story teller in this volume of Horse Tales
for the Soul. Sharing them is a gift to the reader. Horses - marvelous
creatures, each having unique qualities, give their whole heart and spirit,
surprisingly appropriate for each circumstance! Time and technology have not
lessened the value of this special bond." Charlotte Mead, Author,
Germantown, Maryland, USA.
The Horse Tales series comes from the hearts of true
horse-lovers. The humor, emotion, and passion shared in every story helps us
realize that horses are so much more than winning a blue ribbon. They are a
true gift from above and we are so blessed to be able to take part in their
lives. Lisa Mazzocco, Champaign, IL
As horse lovers, so many of us have profound, comical and
even enchanting stories of how horses have touched our lives. Not everyone
takes the time to commit these wonderful glimpses of life to paper.
In Horse Tales for the Soul ...readers will laugh, cry,
and smile wistfully at the musings of the various writers. One thing is for
certain, the book is a true testament to life with equine ... full of wonderful
surprises. Tess Vanattia, Editor- HorseSouth Magazine.
It is wonderful to read about such a variety of
individuals - the humans ranged from boys and girls to grandfathers and
grandmothers, and the horses included rescues, racehorses, and many more. These
stories help us recognize that we, too, have meaningful tales to tell about our
great good fortune sharing our lives with horses. Susan Rifkin Ajamian, Horse
Caretaker & Science Writer.
"Horse Tales for the Soul Volume Three is an
inspiring book for all animal lovers. It is especially touching to horse
people, as they can relate to many of the stories you will find inside its
covers. From the relationship between little girls and their horses, to
learning to say goodbye, there is a story for everyone in this book. I may only
be fifteen, but I think I am right in saying it is well-named, for they truly
are horse tales for the soul." Alexandra Layos, Jr. Editor Saddle &
Bridle Magazine, author, The Missing Link.
Take a break from your traditional reading habits and
immerse yourself in this charming compendium of "horse tales." You
don't have to be a lover of horses to fall in love with this book. Within its
pages are all of life's lessons --the joys, the sorrows, the guideposts of
responsibility for another living creature. Feel the wind in your face and the
ratchety screech of saddle leather as you browse through these pages. What a
kick! Mary Bilinkas, Chandler, AZ (retired college administrator).
