From the Back Cover

Truly the horse is one of the finest creatures on earth. In it we find embodied all of our own hopes and dreams. Our longing to live noble lives. Our need for companionship. Our desire to do good and helpful work. Our yearning to feel truly free.

With contributions from both well-known and up-and-coming writers, this heartwarming collection of true stories is the perfect way for you to decompress from the day’s stresses and remember God’s good gift to us in the majestic, calming, inspiring, and even silly horses he created. Here you’ll meet a stubborn Shetland pony who teaches her girl the importance of hanging on. You’ll see how a young woman learned to trust again after a serious riding accident. You’ll fall in love with a stray donkey who finds a home–and a friend. And so much more.

So make yourself a cup of tea, open up this book, and claim a few refreshing moments on a busy day for yourself . . . and the horse of your dreams.

My Opinion

This treasury of stories warmed my heart as it brought back memories of the horses of my childhood as I found a bit of myself in most of the stories. The book also brought an assurance that my own little girl will have stores of memories of her buckskin pony and horses someday. I look forward to sharing some of the stories with her this winter when the weather keeps her from spending so much time outside.

Each of the 32 stories can stand alone making the book an easy one to read even if you only have fragments of time to devote to reading. Though they can stand alone, Carrie Smith Grant compiled them in such a way that you are kept wanting to read the next one.

The Horse of My Dreams is the perfect book to enjoy yourself or to give to the horse lover in your life this Christmas.
