Horsepower - A Memoir
He was an aged Belgian draft horse left alone in a pasture to live out the remaining days of his twilight years. He spent his time drooling and swishing flies. One day the old horse stepped out of a wobbly wire fence and into a new life. He became useful again, as a horse, when he teamed up with the author, who had always wanted a Belgian draft horse. He immediately began to subtly influence her and the other people who crossed his path.
The old horse weighed one ton and he was physically strong. He was also kind and gentle with an uncanny manner of getting involved in the lives of the people he met. Through trials and good times; through laughter and tears, this grand old horse conveyed many messages about life.
