Описание книги

In this true story you can learn how one unsuspecting lady accidently found a way to save some of America's magnificent wild horses. While wild horses are a great subject for political debates wild horses are being destroyed every day. After years of watching a wild herd Carol has learned that the wild horses don't need to be destroyed to reduce their numbers. They just need to be managed. This story follows Carol as she retired and moved to the Okanogan Highlands in north central Washington State. Shortly after relocating from Seattle, she unintentionally became part of a small herd of wild horses. She watched them, lived by them, fed them, found homes for babies and guarded them against two legged predators that would do them harm. This story follows her journey through all the trials, challenges, friendships and sadness that comes from living with a herd of wild horses. You will see how this herd has been stalked, rustled, shot at, attacked by cougars and through it all stayed true to their family, their freedom and Carol. It is quite a journey and unlike any you may have heard about anywhere else. Carol has always had a love of animals, but none of those animals included horses. She grew up on a farm outside of Spokane, WA and spent most of her adult life in and around Seattle, WA. She retired to the Okanogan Highlands to enjoy country life and the peace and quiet it brings. The horses were never part of the plan.

Отрывок из книги

Let’s get this out of the way at the very beginning. This is not a story about me. It is a story about trying to save a herd of wild horses from destruction by those that hate wild horses. But to understand the story I am about to share you kinda have to know a little bit about me. So here goes:

When this journey started I had absolutely no horse experience at all. None. I had ridden someone else’s horse two or three times when I was in high school, but that was it and that was many years ago. I didn’t even know that a colt was a male baby and a filly was a female baby and that a foal referred to both. I didn’t know what a gelding was. I did know that the Lone Ranger’s horse, Silver, was a stallion and that was the extent of my understanding about stallions.

.....

What I was still trying to get my brain around, was why people didn’t want to save and protect these animals that had landed in this situation only because of us humans. The horse’s history is totally tied to the very creation of our great country. Without the horse where would we be now? These horses are descendents of our founding fathers’ horses in one way or another (the Kevin Bacon 6 degrees of separation sort of a thing). How can anyone want to destroy them just because they exist?
