Book Reviews
Below are just a few of the reviews we have received for the Horse Tales for the Soul series of books!
VOLUME SEVEN
"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.
VOLUME SIX
"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.
VOLUME FIVE
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.
VOLUME THREE
It was 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).
