My Mezeppa by Cheryl Bruder
My Mezeppa is a compelling story about Randall Hurst, a horse breeder and a trainer for a therapeutic riding center. Challenged by disability since birth, Randi lives in her own self-contained world of routine and familiarity. But on the day that Randi’s colt, Mezeppa is born, it marks the turning point where both her and her companions are confronted with many frightening new challenges. Reviews: My Mezeppa is one of those stories that became more intriguing with every page you read. I was gratified to find that My Mezeppa was a real on-the-edge-of your-seat nail-biter. Kelly Bowers The Rider Newspaper Cheryl Bruder did an excellent job in writing this story. I can hardly wait to read more from this author. Her ability to make it real worked for me. My only problem with the book - I really didn't want it to end. I wanted to read more - maybe a sequel? Debi Katsmar Equine Niagara News About the author: Cheryl Bruder has been training and working with horses for most of her life. She donated her first horse to a Therapeutic Riding center near her home and volunteered for a short time. That is where she conceived the idea for this story, hoping to bring attention to the importance of such amazing facilities. |
