A VOYA Poetry Pick: Award-winning author Jessie Haas takes readers on a ride back in time to celebrate the special bond between horses and humans “We have all been changed by the horse, for better and worse.” —Jessie Haas Jessie Haas travels back sixty-five million years—from 5000 BCE to the present day—in 104 poems about our equine friends. Horses have shared some of the most significant moments in human history. In these lyrical and poignant pieces—some written from the horse’s point of view—readers will meet chariot racers, knights’ steeds, horse whisperers, even Pegasus, the winged horse. In one moving poem, a compassionate colt befriends a lonely man; in another, a starving soldier shares a meal with his mount. Whether it’s the thundering herd of Genghis Khan or a Dutch farmer shielding his horse from the Nazis, these transportive free-verse poems reveal how horses have influenced and enriched our lives. Hoofprints is an awe-inspiring journey through history as we gallop alongside horse and rider and experience “the mid-air moment” when “everything may yet / turn out all right.” This ebook includes a bibliography and a glossary of equine terminology.

59 “Getting a horse to put both eyes on you is easy, but getting the trust to keep them is another story.” In this book of personal stories, the author takes us on an inspiring trail ride exploring the most important identities in life, issues of the heart, and the purpose for it all. She metaphorically explains how her horsemanship training helped her develop a better relationship with her horse, with other people, and most of all with her master, Jesus Christ. “Lord, teach me how to put both eyes on you and have unbridled faith.” ***** “The book was great insight into the life and heart of a girl and her horse. I would not consider myself a horse person, but found myself very interested. It was truly amazing to watch how the simple relationship between the master and the horse related so much to our relationship with God. I found the book to be educational, encouraging, and equipping in my walk with the Lord. I think this book would be a great asset to many people on the journey of life, no matter what trail they may be on.” —Pastor Nathan Hawkins, Associate Pastor Trinity Baptist Church in Asheville, North Carolina Coming Soon: “Hoofprints Along the Way” If you like Hoofprints from Heaven, then you’re going to love this next book as Beverly goes deeper into how two-eyed trust with our Creator impacts our relationships with others.

One-part lively oral history, one-part meticulously researched encyclopaedia, and one-part wild ride, Southern Hoofprints colorfully conveys the story of horse racing in Southern Alberta. And in so doing, it also becomes a fascinating history of the region itself, from the late 1880s through to the present day. From racing’s rough, Wild West beginnings to the vast grandstands of modern times, this regional history of the Sport of Kings has been deeply researched and is delivered in a unique and engaging fashion. With wry humour and occasional pulse-throbbing drama, the reader is treated to an intimate perspective on family traditions of husband and wife owners, the dynasties of multi-generational riders, the spectators, and even the horses themselves. The chronicle of the rise of women riders from the trivialized ‘powder puff’ races to becoming power players on the track, and that of the First Nations people from the early days through to today, make this a completely inclusive history. It tells a distinctly Canadian story and its focus on the Southern Alberta region allows it to paint the picture in vivid detail. With its historical data enriched and enlivened through the human dimension of the oral histories, Southern Hoofprints entertainingly recounts horse-racing’s triumphs, tragedies, and continual reinvention.

Have you ever wanted to step back in time and ride in a wilderness that was rich in history? Then come with me back to 1877 and follow a trail the Nez Perce traveled in search of freedom. General O.O. Howard had orders to move the Nim-ee-poo onto a reservation and force them to live under white man’s rules. Chief Joseph refused and led nine-hundred people and two-thousand Appaloosa horses on a flight to freedom for thirteen-hundred miles. The exodus took its toll with winter setting in, starvation, skirmishes with the Cavalry, and the loss of life. History has recorded the end of the trail and the outcome. But, to truly experience the Nez Perce National Historic Trail, you need to be in the saddle. This book will take you there, step by step by hoof print, boot, and moccasin, and your spirit will see the “Hoof Prints Across Time.”
