From the Back Cover Shining coat flashing in the sun. Silky mane rippling in the wind. A toss of the head and the stamp of a hoof.Few of God's creatures are as noble and soul-stirring as the horse. Even those of us who aren't lucky enough to have horses of our own seem to have an innate desire to connect with these beautiful, regal beasts. As children we read stories about them, collected models of them, and tacked posters of them up on our walls. Throughout history they have carried us and calmed us, pulled our loads and pulled at our heartstrings. They give us a taste of wildness and yet make us feel at home. In this inspiring collection, you'll meet horses who show up at the right time, who help their humans learn important truths, and who rescue the very people who rescued them. These true stories of horses and the people who love them are sometimes touching, sometimes humorous, and sometimes miraculous. Always they are inspiring, like the horses themselves. They will touch your heart, renew your spirit, and show you that surely God had us in mind when he created these magnificent creatures.Callie Smith Grant is the editor of The Cat in the Window, The Cat on My Lap, The Dog Next Door, and The Dog at My Feet.

My Uncle Harry picked out an old, gentle mare for me, a pretty Appaloosa, white and spotted. She proved a dream horse for an inexperienced rider. I just had to hold the reigns, and she obediently stayed in line with the other horses and riders.My first trail ride turned eventful, however, when coming down a steep hill, I hit a snag of barbed wire that I did not see. The horse took off in a wild run causing me to drop the reigns. I grabbed the horn of the saddle and held on for dear life as the horse passed the other horses careening down the hill approaching a stream bed.My uncle yelled at me to cry, "Ho." I barely whispered the word and then managed to yell it. The mare came to a sudden stop. Somehow, I managed to stay in the saddle. Shaken, I grabbed the reigns and turned her back toward the other riders. Looking back, I saw another rider getting off the ground. She'd been thrown when her horse had reared up in fear.Despite, the few minutes of terror, I enjoyed the rest of the ride. As we neared home, my little mare sped up in excitement. I gripped the reigns as she galloped the last few yards. Then I groomed and fed her after taking her saddle off.Reading The Horse of My Heart brought that special day back to life for me. This beautiful book is excellent for the horse lover in your life. I especially believe tween and teen girls will love it. Callie Smith Grant compiles a series of true, inspiring stories about these beautiful creatures that will touch your heart. The stories illustrate that horses magical creatures full of wonder and love.We meet horses of all kinds: sweet, loving, funny, heroic, and brave. From an old, retired horse who doesn't want to come out from the pasture to needy and neglected horses, these horses win over your heart immediately. They touch and influence their humans in so many different ways.Contributors to this anthology include many well-known authors such as Lauraine Snelling, Susy Flory, Rebecca E. Ondov, Wanda Dyson, and Sarah Parshall Perry.

Horses Are Loving By Amazon Customer My reason for wanting to read "The Horse of My Heart" by Callie Smith Grant was to learn why people loved horses as pets so passionately. It's never been my great dream or passion to own one. Perhaps, this is because I've only rode on two horses in my life and for thirty minutes or less each time. The stories collected by Callie Smith Grant really reached the heart of my questions. Can such large animals make good pets? Can they teach us lessons of life like cats or dogs? I didn't think about the shortcomings of horses either. Some of the authors of the stories talk about injuries, etc. The next time I see or pet a horse I think my feelings will have become deeper and healthier because of this book.I especially enjoyed the story about the old white mare. She is thirty years old. At the end of the story, the horse's age is not a thought. The lesson is that age doesn't matter whether it is a horse or a person. The love for Snowbird and appreciation of her took a while. It didn't happen overnight. First, the family saw all of Snowbird's faults. I could see the family's growth throughout the story.I never took in to account the fact that horses can run and can do it unexpectedly. One horse runs with its owner. She falls. She ends up with seventy-two stitches in her cheek! This changed her dream in to a nightmare. She became frightened of horses. In time, her love returned for horses. I suppose it is true that cold relationships can become warm ones again. Our pain can become less memorable.There are many other stories in The Horses of My Heart by Callie Smith Grant. There are breeds of horses I have never heard of or seen. I wanted to see the photographs of those horses. For example, there is an Arabian Quarter horse and Fresian Assante and a Shetland.I will never forget the girl who read to her horse until she was old enough to ride him and take care of him. She read him picture books. I could only imagine how cute she and the horse must have looked.Also, at the end of the book there is a short biography for each author of a story. This felt wonderful. After reading the first story, I immediately wanted to know more about the author. There is a wonderful quote by Alice Walker on one page. It's set off in a block. "Horses make a landscape look beautiful." There are other blocked off words about horses like the ones which carry the buggies along in Amish country. Learning about horses is fun and a really big subject. I look forward to my next ride. bakerpublishinggroup.com/revellbakerpublishinggroup.com/books/the-horse-of-my-heart

This collection of over thirty true stories will touch your heart. These tales cover the gamut of children's horses, to horses that have played a major role in the life of adults.Wanda Dyson remembers the day a horse named Lady somehow opened her front door, and let herself into the house on a mission of mercy. Lady then led Wanda to a badly injured horse.Shirley Zeller recounts what it was like to grow up on a remote horse ranch in North Dakota. Despite it taking place in the 20th century, her experiences could have been with the cowboys of the 1800's.Sherri Gallagher shares idyllic days she, and her friend spent on horseback. While munching peanut butter sandwiches and homemade cookies, they explored fields, forests and everything in between, all while atop their horses.Not all the horses were owned by the people who adored them. Claudia Wolfe St. Clair relates the love her mom had for the great racehorse, Secretariat. She was so enamored with him, that a surprise Christmas visit to see the famous racer filled her with joy. Not only did she see him, Secretariat came right up to her mom, and let her touch him. The thrill she got from that still resonates off the pages today.Hold your horses, is that right?Despite knowing very little about horses, these stories were a delight to read. Not only was I entertained, I learned some "horse facts." For instance, I was very surprised to find out the type of horse that lots of Amish people get to pull their buggies. I also smiled when I discovered why, Macaroni "The White House Pony," had to have chicken wire around him.I really liked this book, despite knowing nothing about horses before I read the first page. If you don't have any experience with horses, you might consider changing that after reading The Horse of My Heart. This will be a treasure to those who already love these four-footed friends. These are all short stories, so they can be read a little bit at a time, or the entire book can be read straight through. Either way, it will be a real pleasure, even more so, since there are no objectionable scenes or language. This book will leave a smile on your face long after it is finished. I highly recommend this 5-star book to anyone who enjoys well-written or true stories--and most certainly to horse lovers.The publisher has provided me with a complimentary copy of The Horse of My Heart through Revell Publishing for the purpose of review. All opinions expressed are my own, and I was not required, or influenced, to give anything but an honest appraisal. Despite my receiving the book free, it has not influenced my judgment.Callie Smith Grant has edited a number of animal books including: The Cat on My Lap, The Cat in the Window, The Dog Next Door, and The Dog at My Feet.
