    No Horse Wanted
    by Shannon Kennedy
     
    The only thing that Robin Gibson wants for
her sixteenth birthday is a 1968 Presidential Blue Mustang.
Following their family tradition, what her parents promise her is a
horse of her own, one with four legs, not four wheels. Mom competes
in endurance riding, Dad does calf roping, her older brother games
and her older sister loves three-day eventing, but Robin proudly
says that she doesn't do horses. She'll teach her controlling
family a lesson by bringing home the worst horse she can find, a
starved, abused two-year-old named Twaziem.
    Robin figures she'll nurse him back to
health, sell him and have the money for her car. Rescuing and
rehabilitating the Morab gelding might be a bigger challenge than
what she planned. He comes between her and her family. He upsets
her friends when she looks after his needs first. Is he just an
investment or is he part of her future? And if she lets him into
her heart will she win or will she lose?

    A Horse Named Viking
    by Caroline Akervik
     
    A rogue. An outlaw. An unlikely hero. Viking
is the sole offspring of a savage and vicious mare. The colt is the
pride of the stable until his dam kills a groom in her stall.
Viking is a painful reminder of the tragedy, and so he is sold
off.
    The black colt has a coarse face and a mean
curl to his nostrils, but he is beautifully proportioned with
magnificent gaits. With his teeth and thick weapon of a tail,
Viking brutalizes everyone who handles him and humiliates the best
trainers in the world until Anne O'Neil from the United States
tries him.
    The first time she rides him, she declares
that she will not buy him if he was the last apple in the barrel.
The second time, she rides him with a different philosophy, as if
he is as sensitive as one of her Thoroughbreds, and she is amazed
by the results. Kindness and sugar turn out to be the keys to
Viking's heart. Viking and Anne become rising stars until a cruel
and brutal trainer seeks to crush his spirit.
    A Horse Named Viking follows the life
journey of an incredible, unforgettable horse.
