Courage, Resolution and Aspirations

Hilary Thompson took a summer job at the Millbrooke Stables, adjacent to her new family home in rural Tennessee, Satan, a wild mustang stallion, had just been left at the stables for training. Hilary recognized Satan?s loneliness, even as she felt a need for friendship. She soon established a trust with Satan and eventually became his trainer, preparing him for competition in jumping events.

?A Horse to Remember? is the story of bonding between Satan and Hilary. It is a touching story of trust friendship. Juliana Hutching?s writing is insightful, informational, and moving. She uses dialog to draw the reader into the plot. I found myself identifying with the emotions and feelings of her characters.

Isabelle Hutchings? photo silhouettes create a feeling of warmth, trust, and devotion that add a dimension to the story and brings the narrative to life.

Young readers, horse lovers and riders will enjoy this book. Juliana draws from her own lifetime of experience and her own love for horses to carefully lead the reader through the steps of training a horse for competitive events. An important glossary of horse terms is a helpful tool for understanding the background of training and the terms used throughout the book.

?A Horse to Remember? is Juliana?s first book. She is a gifted young author. Her writing and communication skills show promise of more to come. This is a book for pre-teens, teens, and the young adult reader. Well worth reading.
