This masterpiece is dedicated to those wonderful people who never stop searching for a better and kinder way with horses—you know who you are. The book is now available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and the ARPress website. 

This world is full of spectacular and fascinating wonders just waiting to be discovered and experienced. The author never found anything that captivates her as totally as the spirit of horses. They are the embodiment of the ultimate gift given to humans, reminding us that there is no limit to the beautiful and wonderful creations our Source is capable of manifesting and willing to share with us.

Author Barbara J. Hutson is in her 70s now and has had cognizance of her attraction to horses since her eyes could focus and she could point. Her childhood years were spent living in the city while dreaming of country life. She is one of those women who will be perfectly content to sit in the barn on a bale of hay and just listen to them eat and breathe even when she’s very, very old. 

For as long as Barbara Hutson could remember, she dreamed of having a horse farm and of surrounding herself daily with these magical, mystical, and majestic creatures. Suddenly, she found herself living her lifelong dream. 

In “Knowing Horses by Heart: A Collection of Poems Written with Appreciation for the Horses in My World,”  she talks about the joys and challenges of owning horses. Her poems consider the life lessons she has learned—such as the value of patience and respect—while considering how worthwhile owning horses has been for her.

Like most fantasies, the reality of our fondest wishes can be a bit more than we bargained for. Owning a horse farm is not all serene days gazing at horses playing in the field or peaceful rides into the sunsets. Horses are bigger than life. With that come events that are also tremendous in size and impact, which lends richness and color to the fabric of our life story. 

Fully illustrated, Knowing Horses by Heart shares through poetry some of the knowledge Barbara has accumulated through her equine encounters.

Little Girl Giggles
The gift is sweeter than that very first kiss
Seeing those looks of sheer wonder and bliss
There is nothing quite like watching the eyes
Of a child as she squeals with excited cries
As the magic of real horses fills up the space
The look of pure amazement covers her face …
