Some bonds can never be broken

A beautiful and heart-wrenching middle grade debut, this title is a memorable story, full of love, healing, friendship, and hope. When eleven-year-old Addie goes to stay with a foster family on a remote Exmoor farm in the midst of a very cold winter, she is full of hurt, anger and a deep mistrust of everyone around her. But when she rescues a tiny wild foal from the moorland snow, Addie discovers that perhaps she’s not so alone after all. And as adventure and unexpected friendship blossom, Addie is determined that both of them will know what it is to be home again soon... Author Susanne Bailey delivers a warm, evocative debut set in the natural world that’s sure to inspire readers who are eager for an adventure story about the healing bond between humans and their animal friends.

Nuggets of Truth for People Who Love Horses... No Matter What (Gift Book for Adult Horse-Lovers)

Celebrate the mysterious bond between horse and horse-lover.

The pleasure of whoa. The surprise of the "unscheduled dismount." And why, when jumping, to throw your heart over first. Drawing on her lifelong passion for horses and riding, award-winning artist Bonnie Timmons offers up a book full of whimsy and wisdom and a huge helping of giddy up.

These are the truths as recorded by an astute observer:
 * Of little girls who spend every minute after school mucking out the barn in hope of one trail ride
 * Of the mechanics of riding: the walk, the trot, the canter, the gallop--a gait so fast your worries can't keep up
 * Of English vs. Cowboy-speak. Of Outfits and Accessories, and Good Horse-Keeping Tips, (including how to weigh your horse so you know how much to feed him: 1. Weigh yourself. 2. Weigh yourself holding your horse. 3. Subtract 1. from 2.)
 * And finally, of knowing at the end of the day that when you hold your hoses, they will hold you right back
