      I WASHED YARN FROM LONG ago today—wool from one of our flock that I’d spun in grease, full of lanolin. Most of the lanolin had drained away, but some remained, leaving a sweet scent and softness behind. This is #208’s yarn, according to the index car

      FROM the moment this light bay, hairy cob came bounding over the field, bucking and broncing, I knew he was the one. I was 19 and on a desperate search for my own horse after always schooling and loaning other people’s. I had a measly budget, and as

      A Horse Named Viking by Caroline Akervik

      A rogue. An outlaw. An unlikely hero. Viking is the sole offspring of a savage and vicious mare. The colt is the pride of the stable until his dam kills a groom in her stall. Viking is a painful reminder of the tragedy, and so he is sold off.

      The black colt has a coarse face and a mean curl to his nostrils, but he is beautifully proportioned with magnificent gaits. With his teeth and thick weapon of a tail, Viking brutalizes everyone who handles him and humiliates the best trainers in the world until Anne O’Neil from the United States tries him.

      The first time she rides him, she declares that she will not buy him if he was the last apple in the barrel. The second time, she rides him with a different philosophy, as if he is as sensitive as one of her Thoroughbreds, and she is amazed by the results. Kindness and sugar turn out to be the keys to Viking’s heart. Viking and Anne become rising stars until a cruel and brutal trainer seeks to crush his spirit.

      A Horse Named Viking follows the life journey of an incredible, unforgettable horse.

      No Horse Wanted by Shannon Kennedy (Shamrock Stables #1)

      The only thing that Robin Gibson wants for her sixteenth birthday is a 1968 Presidential Blue Mustang. Following their family tradition, what her parents promise her is a horse of her own, one with four legs, not four wheels. Mom competes in endurance riding, Dad does calf roping, her older brother games and her older sister loves three-day eventing, but Robin proudly says that she doesn’t do horses. She’ll teach her controlling family a lesson by bringing home the worst horse she can find, a starved, abused two-year-old named Twaziem.

      Robin figures she’ll nurse him back to health, sell him, and have the money for her car. Rescuing and rehabilitating the Morab gelding might be a bigger challenge than what she planned. He comes between her and her family. He upsets her friends when she looks after his needs first. Is he just an investment or is he part of her future? And if she lets him into her heart will she win or will she lose?

      The Penny Pony by Patricia Gilkerson (The Horse Rescuer #1)

      Piper Jones has always loved horses, but little did she know what would happen when she and her best friend, Addie tried to help a neglected pony. When all the adults in her life can’t or won’t help, Piper and Addie take matters into their own hands. They must find a safe haven for the pony and protect it from its cruel owner. A little old lady from Piper’s past steps up to help and a suspected liar proves he’s not a bad guy at all. But as the girls try to solve a mystery involving the suspicious owner, will they be forced into crime themselves in order to save their new-found pony friend?

      A Horse Named Viking

      by Caroline Akervik

      Chapter One

      Viking was an unforgettable horse, proud, powerful and vitally alive. He had a way of humbling you, making you feel earthbound and insignificant in comparison. There were other times when he took a rider with him; when he elevated a person to the sublime plane where only a truly great horse can take a rider. In his glory days, his fans regarded him as a mystical beast that had been tamed. They didn’t know a teddy bear’s heart beat inside his muscular body. He was one of those animals that touched your life, and left it permanently altered. This is his story.

      The possibility that this foal could be the once-in-a-lifetime chance every horse lover dreams of drove Kurt Pritzl, a Danish horse breeder, from his warm bed in the middle of the night when the foaling monitor went off.

      What is it? his wife, Lena, mumbled.

      Carpia’s foaling. He threw on clothing.

      Do you need me to call the vet?

      No, I’ll do it. You go back to sleep.

      He made the necessary phone call then stumbled out into the cold miserably damp March night. At times like this, he wondered at his own sanity in running a horse farm. In his sleepy state, he didn’t derive his usual satisfaction from viewing the tidy barn and well fenced pastures that he’d built himself. Kurt and his wife were computer programmers, but this farm and the six mares that he kept and bred each year were his passion. As he slid the aluminum barn door wide and stepped into the aisle, the sweet, organic heat of the animals embraced him while his eyes watered from the powerful ammonia smell of mare urine.

      As he proceeded down the aisle, he peered into the stalls, checking on each mare and her foal, as was his usual custom. His broodmares were fat and shiny, with well-groomed coats that reflected a
