A delightful little collection of stories that reminds me why I love horses so much.

[Cassie]

I love this book! If you love horses as much as I do you will love A Cup of Comfort for Horse Lovers. Its about this girl who rescues a couple horses from an awful horse rescue, the horses are ankle deep in their own manure. I recommend this book especially to animal lovers, if you want to see what kind of a abandoned horses life is like this is the book for you, if you don't then don't read it.
