About this listen
In the hills of Tennessee, Shane Carson, a gifted, nationally-recognized horseman, is living the good life. When a mysterious mustang shows up on his farm, Shane doesn't know how - or why - the horse appeared, but the horse's distinctive brand identifies her. She is one of the Spirit Horses, a rare, wild herd that runs free on the Shoshone reservation in Wyoming. Watched over for centuries in the tribe's ancestral valleys, these exquisite horses, according to belief, provide a link to the afterlife.
When tragedy strikes in his life, Shane nearly loses his will to live - but for one promise he made to his young son: to return the mustang to her rightful home.
On this bittersweet journey, Shane finds a world where tradition reigns, and ancient beliefs transcend modern logic. In this magnificent expanse of blue sky and wide open spaces, love is alive, but hate, intolerance, and greed threaten to close in. To make good on his vow, Shane must face the danger that threatens these horses, the tribe's legacy, and his destiny.

Story
The irresistible tale of 19-year-old Martha Lessen, a female horse whisperer trying to make a go of it in a man's world. It was thought that the only way to break a horse was to buck the wild out of it, and broken ribs and tough falls just went with the job. But over several long, hard winter months, many of the townsfolk in this remote county of eastern Oregon witness Martha's way of talking in low, sweet tones to horses believed beyond repair---and getting miraculous, almost immediate results.

Call Hawkins just wants to be left alone and leave the past where it belongs. The bleak beauty of Dead Horse Creek is a perfect place to get away from the world, a place where nothing exists to remind him of everything he's lost. His isolation is complete - until Charity Sinclair arrives fresh from New York City. Stunningly beautiful and stubbornly independent, she's also shamefully ignorant of the untamed wilderness and the very real dangers she'll face if Call doesn't teach her a thing or two.

Loved this story
I really enjoyed this story. I like Shane and his family is wonderful. Tragedy threatens to overcome him and he works to recover by keeping a promise that turns out to be more difficult than he first imagined. A wild mustang that has become such a good friend to his family is the focus of this promise, to simply set her free in her birthplace becomes alot more than Shane bargained for.
Through all this he learns to heal and love again.
The end surprised me in a very good way, even though I would have wished things to go differently, It was the right way to end this story. Bittersweet and a story I will remember for a long time.

I can only say that this is a great audio to listen to. The ending, although bitter sweet, was not quite what I expected. Enjoyed the story as far as my visualization of the characters and places along with the animals !♡♡♡♡♡

Loved the story, but...
What did you love best about Spirit Horses?
The story itself was very enjoyable...horses, ranching, indian folklore, the description of the countryside...what's not to love?
What did you like best about this story?
Okay, I'll admit, it may not be the most sophisticated book I've read or listened to, but it reminded me of the kinds of books I used to love reading...
Did Ted Brooks do a good job differentiating all the characters? How?
His voice for male characters was okay. At times he sounded like one of the very popular voice-over actors that I hear on a number of commercials. I wasn't as impressed with his voices of the female characters and at times, there was such a change in the tone of his voice that I wasn't sure he was still supposed to be the same character. It was, in my estimation, the weakest part of of this recording.
Who was the most memorable character of Spirit Horses and why?
Shane, I suppose. His relationship with those on the reservation and the ones in town that he befriended.Sloppy...because of what she represented with the connection to Shane's family.
Any additional comments?
As I began to listen to this story, I really thought I might have chosen a YA book by mistake, but then the language became more "adult" and I figured it was just the way the author intended...still, this was a good read/listen that I didn't get bored with.

Beyond Excellent
This is by far one of the best books that I've read in a while. There were so many twists and turns that keep the reader's attention, while at the same time keeping to a family, love story. The Indians and horses simply walk off the pages and come to life and leave the reader wanting more. At the end of the I thought I really want more, but sometimes all good things have to end. This was my first read by Alan Evans, but it won't be my last. Great writing and even better reading.
