Saladin The Wonder Horse

By Koos Verkaik

The Middle Ages were a turbulent time for many countries, including England.

King Richard the Lionhearted, had left in the company of a large number of knights to take part in the Crusades, and now his brother, Prince
John, was ruling the country. It soon became obvious that this prince was out more to enrich himself than to rule the country in a good and fair way.

Angie is a young orphan girl who lives in the stables, looking after the horses of Lord Patrick Baltimore. When Prince John's army is about to seize all of the Baltimore horses as a tribute, Angie runs away with one very special colt named Silver. Soon she and Silver are befriended by a splendid black stallion named Saladin. No one knows his story, but all who meet him, agree he is a wonder horse. As Angie sets out to find Robin Hood, Saladin and Silver save her from the evil of Prince John and his men, time after time. The unlikely trio, inspire the Saxons to have faith and courage as they struggle to survive until the return of the rightful ruler, Richard the Lionhearted.
