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.

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.”




Invisible Footprints in Time?


Book Description

Maxine Samuels is a research scientist who is driven to answer a single burning question: why has humanity’s spiritual connection to a higher power practically disappeared? Furthermore, what will happen if this connection can’t be restored? As she examines her world for an answer, she realizes that power, fear, greed, corruption, and shame have been used throughout history to control people and to prevent them from connecting to the oneness of the world. This is the cause of all the conflict, anger, war, and strife we observe, and will eventually lead to the demise of humanity. However, she strongly believes that a flicker of spirituality still exists. She hopes to fan it into flame before it goes out, and humanity is lost in the dark. Maxine is certain that the keys to the future lie in the past. She engineers a means to time travel by combining modern science with spirituality and then travels back to places where humanity lost its way. She hopes to use this knowledge to nudge civilization back into spiritual alignment in the present. The deeper she delves into these mysteries, the more she begins to wonder if it’s possible to travel to the past without leaving any footprints, and she realizes she may be in danger of irreversibly altering the very future that she is trying to save. At the same time, she realizes that others may already be traveling to the past, but with a desire to change things for their own benefit.
