For the Love of a Horse Joan Hobart

Like many girls, author Joan Hobart was horse crazy when she was growing up. She had always wanted a horse of her own, but her parents had no money for that kind of luxury. In For the Love of a Horse, she chronicles how that dream became a reality and changed her life in deep, profound ways. In this memoir, Hobart tells how, out of nowhere, a horse both breeders and trainers thought would amount to nothing, along with a novice rider new to the show world, would become a National Reserve Champion in a qualifier and eighth in the nation in a championship. For the Love of a Horse narrates the story of Hobart's journey with her animal soul mate, the love of her life, and the most precious gift she ever received. It's a story of how an animal can touch one's heart and change a life. It's a story of dreams, joy, overcoming tremendous odds, believing when all seems hopeless, ultimate triumph, and miracles.
