In the tradition of the authors' popular "Angel" titles on cats, dogs, and horses, the inspiring true stories collected here demonstrate acts of courage and heroism, feats of love and compassion, and the powerful link between horses and people. Readers meet equines including Molly, a pony rescued during Hurricane Katrina who received a prosthetic leg and now works at camps for children with cancer and disabilities; and Pegasus, an ornery horse who nurtures a foal with a gravely ill mother and goes on to provide surrogate care to numerous weaker horses. The result reveals the wonders possible when both humans and horses are encouraged and allowed to follow their best instincts.
