A great read for horse-loving 12-year-olds and up! Finally - a horse that tells its own story! Meet Light, a sarcastic Civil War cavalry stallion who thinks he's smarter than most people (and he might just be right). A Wild West vagabond, Light recounts his adventures in Texas with humor and plenty of "yee-haw" exclamations. "This book had me laughing, gasping and even swiping away a tear. I love, love, love this book. I'm going to buy this one and give as a Christmas gift. Wonderful story, you can't go wrong with this one. Highly recommend it." - Amazon reviewer The about 100-page standalone story follows Light's journey after he loses his master, cavalry officer Lance. When Light is forced to choose between surrender and survival on his own, he chooses life - and we hear his story straight from the horse's mouth! From the Rio Grande chaparral to the wild horses, from joining the Comanche tribe to becoming a breeding machine, a plant-based addict and a prisoner of a traveling salesman. Light experiences freedom, friendship and the true meaning of loyalty - all told in his unforgettably witty, first-person voice. Mervi Jakonen's black-and-white illustrations liven up the book. - Historical accuracy for captivating storytelling - Educational horse knowledge for laugh-out-loud humor - Action-packed adventures for genuine warmth
