Rosie and Scamper, written by Vicki Watson, is the first in the
author’s Sonshine Stables series. The stable is so-named because its owner, Kezzie,
uses horses to not only teach children how to ride but to also teach life
lessons with Christian values.
Rosie is Kezzie’s granddaughter.
She visits her grandmother as often as she can so she can help out in the
stable and ride her horse, Jet. Jet is going to have a foal and Rosie can’t
wait for that to happen. Grandma Kezzie is going to help Rosie train the foal
when it is born.
In addition to learning more
about horses, Rosie learns some tough lessons about life that change the course
of her life forever. But she also learns that God guides us along as we go
through life’s journey.
The author includes a short
section at the back of the book about “Horse Safety”. She has also added an
interview with Terry Meijers, a nationally recognized horse trainer and riding
instructor, as well as a blurb about Susan Newquist who designs jewelry made
with horse hair.
