Express Gambler: A Horse's Story (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781038369932)

Ewe-necked, with hips and ribs showing, Express Gambler was in terrible shape when Marie met him, having been subjected to inhumane "breaking" methods and a complete lack of understanding from the humans who were supposed to care for him. Yet he would go on to become the wise old mentor of an entire herd of rescued horses. Express Gambler: A Horse's Story is the true story of the author's gentle attempts to bring traumatized horses back into positive relationship with humans.

Express Gambler was the first--many horses followed, each with their own wounds and unique personalities. Their stories show all the ways that we can fail these magnificent animals and highlight the priceless gifts they give us when their trust is won back. Told from a horse's point of view, the book is illustrated throughout with photographs of the individual horses.

A plea for understanding and better treatment, Express Gambler: A Horse's Story will appeal to all those who love horses, from young adults upwards, especially those who work with them.
