Horses are the epitome of grace, power, and freedom. They also have an ability to touch our souls and connect with our hearts in a way that few other animals can. From a little girl's first pony to a gnarled cowboy's last quarter horse, they can offer us some of our deepest friendships and inspire us to be the best version of ourselves. A book of happiness for horse lovers is a compendium of enduring quotes that capture the essence of our affection for these magnificent animals. Some are by famous people (Winston Churchill, Nathaniel Hawthorne, William Faulkner, Dale Carnegie, Ralph Waldo Emerson), others not; some are philosophical, others light-hearted - all are memorable. This best-selling collection of memorable quotes and beautiful photography is now available in paperback.
“Horses and children … have a lot of the good sense there is in the world.” Josephine Demott Robinson
A photo book with each image faced by a witty or pithy quotation. Best appreciated by equestrians, but pedestrians will find something to like too. Jones seems to have made a cottage industry of similar picture/quote books. Nothing earth shaking. A good coffee table or gift book. A quick, enjoyable read.
“Horses know how to be loyal but still keep their distance.” Sadie Jones
I found this to be completely average in all honesty. The pictures were quite pretty, but predictable, same types of photos you would see in any collection of horse photos. This is not to say some of them were not stunning, just nothing truly unique. The quotes were okay, I definitely liked a bunch of them, but there were also a lot that had no impact on me in either a positive or negative way. It's a good book to flip through, but if you are looking for a horse quote for a specific occasion I would not suggest this book.
