    About this audiobook

    From miniature donkeys to enormous draft horses, from regal Arabian stallions to sassy Shetland ponies, horses and other equines bring us delight and comfort whenever we encounter them. Even more so, perhaps, when humans and horses are brought together through a rescue. Whether someone has started a rescue ranch on purpose or circumstances align to match up the right horse with the right person, stories of second chances warm our hearts and restore our hope.



    This emotional and inspiring collection of true stories introduces you to a pony who helps a little girl get over her fear of riding, a donkey who discovers his purpose protecting vulnerable lambs, blind horses who teach their human about courage, and even a pony who somehow figures out how to drive a golf cart. By turns humorous and heartwarming, these delightful tales are the perfect companion for those times you long to slow down, take a load off, and enjoy the ride.

      Jean Alford7:33 AM (2 hours ago)to meSECOND-CHANCE HORSES Edited by Callie Smith Grant Book ReviewAs another horse lover, this book was a very satisfying and enlightening read, teaching me fascinating facts far beyond my scant knowledge of these beautiful and loving creatures. An excellent book all round. I highly recommend it.

      The subtitle: "True Stories of the Horses We Rescue and the Horses Who Rescue Us" accurately tells us what the book is about. "Second-Chance Horses" is a collection of 33 very short stories (none over ten pages long) about the relationship of horses and people. Some of the stories are about people who loved horses from the time they were young children. Some of the horses had been mistreated before they were rescued, and took a while to become trusting. Not all of the animals are horses; mules and a zebra are included. The stories are about everyday people. The only celebrity mentioned is Elvis Presley, who appeared in one story. This collection will interest to "horse people."

      Disclaimer: I received an ARC via a Librarything giveaway.When I entered the Librarything giveaway for this book, I didn’t know that Revell was part of a Christian publishing house. When I started received the book and realized, I was a bit wary, t’s not that I have not read work from Christian publishing houses before, but some faith based published books are bit . . well . . too much. This is not one of them. It is simply a collection of true stories about horses and their place in the lives of the authors. Most of the stories in this book do not mention God or praying. There is maybe a total of five that do, with only two of those with a power of prayer theme (and those written by the same author). While all the stories are written by women (with some contributing more than one) living in the US, the collection includes work from South American and Middle Eastern born writers as well. The theme of the book is second chances, be it in the adopting of a horse or mini-Donkey (there are quite few mini donkeys here) or about an horse helping the rider/owner or even a horse recovering from an illness. The stories are heartwarming. And a couple of the essays are connected. There are a couple of essays that deal with horses from well known horse therapy groups such as Gentle Carousel Miniature. There is even a story about a zebra as well as discussions about BLM.I particularly appreciated the stories that included parts that illustrated that every horse is not right for every rider, and that sometimes the best thing for both woman and steed was to rehome the horse. It was good to see that, and it ensured that the stories, though feel good, weren’t Hollywood feel good. I also really did enjoy reading about Pumpkin who drives the golf cart as well as a woman’s obsession with Secretariat. While it is true that some of the stories do not fully fit the second chance theme, it is still a warm fuzzy in a not too sweet way read.
