A Horse Named Special

by Kathy Brodsky

A Horse Named Special is an engaging and wonderful story about a former race horse who is now a therapy horse. He helps people young and old to gain or regain confidence both emotionally and physically.

The book helped a little ten-year-old boy in Mexico to bond with an abandoned horse, whom he named “Special.” The boy helped the horse regain strength and now this child, who has neurological problems, is able to ride, gallop and jump with the horse he helped save. They have even entered contests!
