For the Love of the Horse
(Amazing True Stories About the Horses We Love)
For the Love of the Horse honors horses of all breeds, sizes and
disciplines, from Minis to Percherons, from barrel racers to dressage and event
horses, driving horses to endurance horses and so much more.
Horses have shared
a timeless bond throughout history with us, serving as work horses, athletic
partners, family pets, and four-legged therapists. No animal has served humans
in so many capacities and been so generous with their work ethic, love, and
willingness to give all they have.
Volume I:
We meet Iroquois, literally
rescued right out of the slaughterhouse, who went on to take his owner and
friend, Allene, to the Grand Prix field in Wellington, Florida, site of the
most prestigious horse show series in the world.
We laugh at the inexperienced
pony owners who, in an effort to prepare for a show, turn their pony pink! We
meet Soldier, a moose of a horse who with his kindness and sagacity enabled an
elderly gentleman to ride until he died.
And we cheer on the underdog Stonehill
team as they overcome obstacles (including a tornado that took out part of
their hotel) to be named Intercollegiate Champions. These are just a few of the
dozens of inspiring and funny stories in this volume.
Volume II:
We meet Antigua, who taught
Will Faudree the ropes of upper level venting. We learn about how the Lippizans
of Austria helped a young girl deal with the terrors of encroaching Nazism and
how an arrogant stallion turned into Liz Austin’s beloved partner and dressage
super star Olivier. Find out how a sensitive and intuitive horse named LT
reclaimed a young man discarded for lost. Stacy Westfall and Whizards Baby Doll
blew audiences away with their bareback and bridleless reining routine. How did
Stacy train “Roxy” to do it? Find out here.
Volume III:

Everyone knows Teddy
(Theodore O’Connor), the diminutive pony who showed the big horses how it was
done. But no one knows his amazing story. Read it here. How many horses went
from slaughterhouse rescue to Horse of the Year? Two of them, Monday Morning
and Jamaica, are in this volume. And did you know the first schoolbus was . . .
a horse? Read about him here. If you saw Blu Horse Matine’s stunning
performance in the World Equestrian Games, you have to check out her story
here.
Volume IV:
Lisa Kelly is one of only
three women who brave the most dangerous roads in North America as an Ice Road
Trucker. She’s also a horse lover with a great story.
Tina Konyot’s family
performed in circuses; Tina is now an Olympic dressage rider. Find out how she
formed a partnership with a horse that most people didn’t think would get far,
and qualified for the London Olympics.
Boyd Martin and Phillip Dutton braved a
burning barn and saved Neville Bardos. It was the second time Boyd saved
Neville; in return Neville saved Boyd, and his family.
People wondered what
breed the stunning stallion that won Reserve Champion Stallion at Dressage at
Devon was. They were stunned to learn that Padré is an American Mustang. Read
it all and more in Volume IV.
Naturally,
Ann would appreciate your reaction to her work. Yes, she already has the
perfect forty-eight 5-star score, but why not make it an even fifty; or sixty,
or a hundred, for that matter. We authors are like that: We truly appreciate
feedback to our writing.
