Chosen by a Horse, How a Broken Horse Fixed a Broken Heart Horse Book

by Susan Richards
Publisher: Harvest Books 1st Edition 2007 ISBN: 9780156031172
The horse Susan Richards chose for rescue wouldn't be corralled into her waiting trailer. Instead Lay Me Down, a former racehorse with a foal close on her heels, walked right up that ramp and into Susan's life. This gentle creature-malnourished, plagued by pneumonia and an eye infection-had endured a rough road, but somehow her heart was still open and generous. It seemed fated that she would come into Susan's paddock and teach her how to embrace the joys of life despite the dangers of living. An elegant and often heartbreaking tale filled with animal characters as complicated and lively as their human counterparts, this is an inspiring story of courage and hope and the ways in which all love-even an animal's-has the power to heal.

Albert's father sells Joey to the army where the beautiful red bay horse is trained to charge the enemy, drag heavy artillery, and carry wounded soldiers not much older than Albert off battlefields.

A powerful story(told by the horse) of the truest of friendships in the worst of wars, War Horse, the runner up for the prestigious Whitbread Award, is a story that will dazzle readers from beginning to end.

No Small Thing Horse Book

By Natalie Ghent
Publisher: Candlewick Press 2003 ISBN: 0763628611
Sometimes, something as small as an ad in the daily newspaper can change your whole life. When twelve year old Nathaniel and his two sisters, Cid and Queenie, discover an ad for a free pony in the paper, they can hardly believe their luck. The pony is theirs, as long as they can afford to take care of it. But what will their mother say? Nat knows things are hard for his mom; his dad walked out on them four years ago and his mom has been struggling to work and raise three children. But having a pony would help Nat and Cid stop bickering and it would mean so much to Queenie. Although initially unwilling, Nat's mother eventually lets them keep the pony. And so begins a year of self-discovery for Nat, who is trying to deal with his father's absence and to look out for his younger sister, who is "different.” He's also trying to sort out his emotions for the rich, pretty girl in his class. And while life may not always be easy, Nat knows that his very own pony is waiting for him at the end of every day. Until a fire destroys the barnÉPoignant yet often humorous, No Small Thing is inspired by events in the author's life. It is not just a horse story, but a story about the search for love and identity in the face of longing, abandonment and uncertainty.
