“A moving testimony to the powerful bond we have with our horses.”—Theresa Peluso, co-author of Chicken Soup for the Horse Lover’s Soul
There is no denying that the emotional bond between horses and the humans
who love them can reach mystical proportions, and nowhere is that relationship
more evident than in these twenty-four true-life accounts of horses rescuing
people. Here is the story of a seventeen-year-old Apache youth whom a horse-rescue
project retrieved from drug abuse; a mother whose young son was about to
be dragged to his death before the horse recognized the child’s plight; a Vietnam
veteran with post-traumatic stress disorder whose work with horses keeps him
on an even keel; and the owner of a Miniature Horse that serves as a “seeing eye”
guide animal. As varied as the stories are, all share the same conclusion: “My
horse saved my life.” Originally published in hardcover as Horses That Saved Lives.
