Her is another great book about horses  called ” Chicken Soup for the Horse Lover’s Soul  by Gary Seidler (Author), Peter Vegso (Author), Jack Canfield (Author), Mark Victor Hansen (Author), Marty Becker D.V.M. (Author), Theresa Peluso (Author).

Our connection to the horse is ancient and visceral. These humble creatures are mentioned in the earliest samplings of the written word, which illustrates how the human/equine bond transcends cultural and economic barriers. The horse’s integral role in man’s evolution, society’s development and the growth of civilizations is unquestioned; they have been immortalized by Hollywood, cherished by little girls and mourned by warriors.

Chicken Soup for the Horse Lover’s Soul is filled with inspiring stories of rescue and rehabilitation, heartbreaking losses, dedication and commitment, and positive messages of responsibility and unconditional love. Readers will enjoy uplifting and humorous stories that depict the horse’s intelligence, versatility and intuitiveness; they will discover the horse’s healing powers, marvel at the graceful performance of a Grand Prix Dressage winner, be awed by the stamina and strength of a working horse and the athletic prowess of a champion racer.

In exchange for our love and companionship, horses teach us, heal us, protect us and guide us. Chicken Soup for the Horse Lover’s Soul is a worthy celebration of a very noble creature. I highly recommend this book!

Qisma a Very Lucky Horse

This is the story of one of my horses named Qisma his name means lucky in arabic. I adopted him from the humane society after him and twenty one other horses were taken away from there owners. Qisma was one of the lucky ones because him and eight others lived the rest had to be put down. The people who owned them let many of there animals starve to death and not just horses. Qisma was in bad shape when I first saw him, his hoofs were so long that some people called him ski because it looked like he was skiing. Qisma is a black arabian but he did not look like one, his belly was burn from standing in a pen for one year with out being cleaned. When I first saw Qisma he was two colors light brown on the bottom and black on top, he was afraid of every one and everything. It took me almost a year, with the help of a vet to get him back to his right weight, he would not eat apples at first or his grain. I have had Qisma for four years now and he is a beautiful black arabian, he loves to be brushed and petted. So if you see a animal who deeds help or a person we all should help. Thanks for listening to my story.
