    About this ebook

    An urban woman moves to the country and falls in love with a horse—an embodiment of nature, wisdom, and living in the moment. She is not exactly a spring chicken, as the village people are quick to point out, and she hasn’t been in the saddle since she was a child. Her tireless quest for the world’s most beautiful horse makes her look like a fool. That’s OK with her; she knows it isn’t far from the truth. But will it stop her?
