Story
Everyone knows a woman who loves horses. Maybe she rides whenever she can find the time, maybe she rode as a young girl, or maybe she just devoured the Black Stallion books. Twenty years ago, Nancy Shulins let go of one dream - having a child - and worked toward another one: learning to ride and, eventually, having her own horse. In the process, she learned what it means to love another being so much you can’t imagine life without them.

Story
Monty Roberts' father, a traditional horse trainer, had taught his son to dominate a horse in order to "break" it. But when he was 13, Monty made a discovery that changed his life. As he watched a mare tame a rebellious colt, Monty saw that she was speaking to it through eye and body movements. Astonished, Monty realized that he could train horses by using their language, speaking to them in ways that would form trust and understanding. Developing techniques based on what he learned from the horses around him, Monty embarked on a remarkable career - one that would bring him international fame as the real Horse Whisperer.

I love this book!
I enjoyed this book in audible format as well as the written novel. The story with all of the very different characters was interesting with unexpected twists and turns along the way. Very well written and I would to read more from these 2 authors - Andrew Wood and Courtney Crane.

I'm glad I spent a credit and got this book!
It was a great story. Well written and well narrated. The only hiccup, was there are two different chapters that repeat, but a quick skip can get you pass those. I really liked how all three stories inner twined and of course I loved the mention of Happy Horse Happy Life!
