Read any good horse books lately?

There are a couple of books we'd like to draw to your attention. Melanie Sue Bowles has two books that she says "are empowering horse lovers all across the nation as they address the major issues facing the equestrian community, including the Thoroughbred racing industry." All the royalties Melanie receives for these books go to
taking care of fifty-five rescued horses that live at her Proud Spirit Horse Sanctuary in west Arkansas.

The first book, THE HORSES OF PROUD SPIRIT presents the true story that inspired an Emmy Award-winning PBS documentary about Melanie and her husband Jim's work with Proud Spirit Horse Sanctuary. Best-selling author Monty Roberts says about this book: "Wonderful... a good read for anyone interested in making the world a better place for horses and people too."

Now there is a follow up book that serves as a sequel. HOOF PRINT: More Stories from Proud Spirit expands on Melanie's life purpose of rescuing and caring for unwanted, elderly, and abused horses. It offers insight to anyone on how to more deeply live your life's purpose. World renowned trainer and author, Linda Tellington-Jones writes: "This book is informative, engaging, inspiring, and charmingly written -- an example of one courageous woman's journey to make a difference in the lives of unwanted horses, and in doing so, make our world a better place in which to live."

You can get these books from Amazon.com or from Melanie's website, www.horsesofproudspirit.com/proudspiritbooks.html
