[Susan Miller · Rating 3 out of 5]

A cute book with a story of how a mother with no horse knowledge learned how compassionate horses can be through her husband and sons. How she learned to be brave and take care of them and enjoy time watching others learn and grow in their presence. Spiritual lessons related to her religion.
