A collection of stories of horses and the lives they impacted, this book will make you laugh and cry. I know it sounds cliche, but it really did for me!
I am a horse owner, so I could totally relate to some of the life-lessons that were learned by the authors that penned some of these stories. As I said, some made me laugh and a few made me cry...(I will let you figure out those.)
Even, if you aren't a horse owner, but are a horse lover, you could appreciate this book. Mainly, because lots of the story writers had that initial passion--love. Even if you aren't a "horse lover", I think you could still appreciate the lessons learned. The book reminded me of those human-interest type stores that the news stations put on once in a while that leave you feeling warm-fuzzies--that maybe there is still good that happens and the underdog does triumph.
As mentioned, the book is a collection of stories penned by several authors. Each story is not long in length, a few pages to several pages. The lengths would be good for a short read before bed or even something to read aloud at the dinner table for family time. Content is very family friendly.
Overall, 5 stars. Just a good book that is light and leaves you feeling good.
(I was given this book for free by the publisher in exchange for an honest review.)

Roscoe
A good walking buddy and awesome frisbee catcher! Life cut short by a brain tumor.
Tuffy
If ever there was a candidate for Dog Heaven, it would be Tuff. Tuff was put to rest December 7, 2012. At almost 14 years old, he threw the longevity curve for dogs of his breed-makeup and size. He battled 2 types of cancer and Cushing's Disease as well as arthritis. Faithful to the end and never grumpy, depite the constant care and nagging from me. Always the protector, gentleman and companion--you will be sorely missed by all who had the opportunity to know you.
Cranky Thomas
Ever wonder why it's called "Life On CT Farm"? The horse you see in the pictures is Cranky Thomas, a registered quarter horse gelding. He was born May 5, 1980 in Galion, Alabama and passed away August 3, 2004 on CT Farm--his farm. He originally belonged to my husband, but I adopted him and I think he adopted me. We competed together in contest classes at local horse shows. But, an old injury finally slowed him down and I retired him in 2000. He was a loving and patient being that I completely trusted and admired. There will never be another like him, never. He meant so much to me that I named our farm after him as well as my company, Cranky T. LLC. He's gone now, but is still with me and now you.
