There's something for everyone in this fantastic collection - from classic stories e.g. Greyfriars Bobby and Gelert, who gave his life for a prince, to moving stories e.g. Judy, whose affection for her adopted master helped him - and her - survive life in a prisoner of war camp during the Second World War to exciting stories, e.g. Barry, the St Bernard dog who rescued unwary travellers from an avalanche and Cinnamon who saved people's lives after the Mexico City earthquake - and more!
This book features ten gripping stories of different horses renowned for their heroism! From the classics, such as Alexander the Great's stallion Bucephalus and Misty who inspired a famous book, to tales from our times, for example the heart-wrenching story of Sefton, the army horse whose bravery helped him to survive a terrorist bomb, this book covers the whole range. It includes the story of how the famouse racehorse Red Rum came to be a star, the dramatic history of an Arabian stallion who survived the war and founded a dynasty of famous horses - and much more!
