About this listen

Joe, an ugly and unloved horse, trusts no one, and no one trusts him. Until Vicky. This is the story of a troubled horse and the little girl who loves him.

Based on the true adventures of the author's childhood 50 years ago, Joe teaches the lesson that sometimes beauty is not skin deep but heart deep. That the unloved have much to show us about the true nature of love.

Wonderful!

What made the experience of listening to Joe - the Horse Nobody Loved the most enjoyable?

I received the Audible version straight from the author. That in itself makes it special.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Of course, Vicky herself. I related to her so much with her love of animals, being a bit of a loner, and her determination.

What aspect of Dorothy Deavers’s performance would you have changed?

Although she has a very pleasant voice, I thought there were times when she sounded a little sleepy and when I read the same lines in the book, I didn't hear "sleepy" at all. She slurs her words sometimes and I had to stop and back up 30 seconds to hear the line again because I didn't understand her. But that was minor in an otherwise fine performance on her part.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Without spoiling the story for anyone, the final chapter had me crying so hard I couldn't see.

Any additional comments?

I love a good "animal story", and this one goes down on my list of favorites of all time. Wonderful book, highly recommended.

Absolutely! Dorothy reads this book with such pathos and understanding. Truly comes to life.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Joe - the Horse Nobody Loved?

The moment the little girl sees Joe, and falls in love with him.

What about Dorothy Deavers’s performance did you like?

So genuine.

Both. Laughed out loud and cried buckets.

Great Story

I loved the story. I was able to visualize all of the characters. Wish it was actually narrated by a young girl. I would recommend it to all age groups.

More than just a horse story

Vicki has a rural way of writing that transmits you right to the spot where this little girl is transforming this wonderful pony’s life as seen through her eyes.

Heartwarming memoir

This is a memorable true story of how an old horse and a young girl helped each other navigate through lonely times and find joy. It is a great description of how love, patience and determination can turn even the sourest of horses around.

Wish book 3 & 4 were on Audible!!!!

We LOVE Joe! So happy to have found book 2 on Audible!!!
My middle child loves, sleeps, breathes, rides, and shows horses. In her "spare time" she mucks stalls. ;) She and I have listened to JOE many times, always laughing throughout and wiping away tears at the end.
Please add books 3 & 4 to Audible!!!!

Refreshing

This story was so touching and so real. Not just another girl and her horse fantasy, but one that really reaches down to your soul. A refreshing break from my usual genre. The narration was so on point for this book. She told the story as if she were living it. I will definitely try another book from this author.
