Gidget: The Horse Formerly Known as Witch

The Burton's Farm #2

by Vicky Kaseorg

A name is destiny…Or is it? Young Vicky is reeling from the loss of her old horse Joe, but eager to help the flighty, rarely ridden young mare, Witch. Unpredictable and dangerous, Witch’s future is bleak. In her first moment with the horse no one trusted, Vicky changed Witch’s name to Gidget, a hopeful benediction.

“If only changing her name is all it took to change behavior,” the farm owner laments.

Despite her new name, Gidget, the horse formerly known as Witch, struggles to abandon old, unstable habits. Along the way, the fearful horse captures the heart of a grieving child, and miracles of healing unfold to a remarkable conclusion.

A story about changing one’s destiny.

A horse love and a broken heart

I loved this book because I was the same way. I didn’t relate to people
but could be at peace in a pasture full of horses. I could tell each of
Just by looking at their faces. I also liked it when her friend inserted,
and found GOD in all things that they did. They were like little springs of water in a desert. Keep writing the great stories of hope and courage.

I listened to this book and Joe, the Horse Nobody Loved on Audible.com. The narrator was charming and appropriately expressive. Both books have simple stories that capture the thrills and loneliniess of childhood.

Just like the first book in the series this book is truly amazing! I love how the author describes all of the challenges, successes, failures, and achievements. This book and series is the perfect book for anyone who’s horse obsessed!

This book takes me back to my childhood with horses. I love the humor and the strength of the main character. Wonderful light read.

I loved the first book about the horse named Joe so much, I was a little nervous about starting this book. I couldn't see how the author could top the first book, but she has! It was a joy to read how young Vicky grows in confidence through working with a new horse. As an added interest, her new friend Bella is gently introducing her to spiritual things. I can't say enough good things about this book, and it, along with Joe's story, goes on my forever, favorite-books-of-all-time shelf! Highly recommended, especially if you, like me, was a shy, awkward girl who loved horses.

Wonderful book

I'm a senior citizen and this book takes me back to my childhood, I was mad about horses too. Everything she writes about in her book rings so true to the era of the time. I cried a few years but this isn't a sad book just a very interesting one, I finished it in one day thanks to staying up until the wee hours of the morning.
