The heartwarming true story of a blind horse named Joey.
At the height of his show career, this beautiful Appaloosa's majestic stature, strength, and willingness to work made him the perfect partner. But when an injury cost Joey his show career, he moved from one owner to the next, ultimately experiencing severe abuse and neglect. A rescue group found Joey nearly dead from starvation - and blind.
Then he came to Hope Reins - a ranch dedicated to helping hurting kids who had been abused, emotionally wounded, or unwanted. By teaching these children to care for rescued animals, the Hope Reins staff were convinced they could reach kids with love and hope and show them that we are never forgotten by God.
But could the financially struggling ranch afford to take care of a blind horse that no one else wanted? Could Joey somehow learn to trust people even though the world had hurt him so badly? And what would happen - to Joey, the kids, and Hope Reins - if they failed?
A true story of friendship destined to become a classic, Joey will touch your heart and reveal the power of finding light in the darkness.

Joey: How a Blind Rescue Horse Helped Others Learn to See$32.99
Emotional and gripping testimony. Personally found it rather interesting as I love the combination of horses and therapy. I also can emotionally connect with the horse from a previous bond with a pony from my youth. Although my view could be seen as biased, this would still suit a wider range of audiences as it really is a touching story about the beauty of horses and how they can touch so many lives and administer the truth of God to us. Would encourage you to read it if you are looking for a beautiful, real, honest and heart-touching story. A truly beautiful story about new chances for horses and humans alike.

Not quite what we thought
I bought """"Joey"""", as I have horse loving daughters, and we love a good testimony. But we found it hard to get into. The girls describe it as """"very American. """" \\r\\nPossibly other girls in the 8-10year old range who love animal stories would enjoy this, but it wasn't for us.
