- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I first heard about this amazing person by watching the movie made by Disney. I fell in love with every one of the characters and have worn out a VHS copy and had to purchase DVD. Sonora Carver lived during the Great Depression and was a dreamer who only wanted to be great. Her love for horses led her to Carvers Wild West Show and the owner taught her all he knew about diving horses. She became his star attraction. The horses and characters are all amazing and I strongly recommend any young horse lover read this book and then watch the movie.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5An amazing true story of a young woman who dared to dive a horse off a 40 ft tower into a tank at Atlantic City for the amusement of crowds. Early in her career she was blinded by the impact with the water but continued to perform for many years after this, listening to the hooves of the horse coming up the ramp toward her and jumping onto his back to climb the tower and dive.
