Separated from her mother when she was very young, she learned to take care of herself. She stopped expecting anyone to choose her and learned to survive on her own.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThen one day, a woman named Dovie walked into her pasture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDovie had loved horses all her life, but after being injured in a riding accident, fear had kept her out of the saddle for twenty years. Now she was finally ready to try again. She wasn't looking for just any horse. She was searching for the one special horse who might help her find her way back to something she had loved nearly all her life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut that horse seemed impossible to find.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDovie was almost ready to give up when something happened that she never expected.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAcross the pasture, a little black-and-white filly left her hay and walked toward her. Beauty could have stayed with the other horses. She could have kept eating. Instead, she crossed the pasture, stopped beside Dovie, and quietly placed her head on Dovie's shoulder.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn that moment, something passed between them that neither needed words to explain.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBeauty chose Dovie.

For the first time, Beauty would learn what it meant to truly belong, not only to a person, but to a family and a herd of her own.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnd while Beauty was learning about friendship, trust, love, and belonging, something remarkable was happening to Dovie, too. The little horse she had brought home was quietly helping her rediscover something fear had taken from her twenty years before.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHer courage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBeauty: The Christmas Horse\u003c\/b\u003e is the true story of a little filly who needed someone willing to see how special she was, and a woman who needed one extraordinary horse to help her believe in herself again.
