For as long as Barbara Hutson could remember, she dreamed of having a horse farm and of surrounding herself daily with these magical, mystical, and majestic creatures. Suddenly, she found herself living her lifelong dream. In Knowing Horses by Heart, she talks about the joys and challenges of owning horses. Her poems consider the life lessons she has learnedsuch as the value of patience and respectwhile considering how worthwhile owning horses has been for her.

Like most fantasies, the reality of our fondest wishes can be a bit more than we bargained for. Owning a horse farm is not all serene days gazing at horses playing in the field or peaceful rides into the sunsets. Horses are bigger than life. With that comes events that are also tremendous in size and impact which lends richness and color to the fabric of our life story. Fully illustrated, Knowing Horses by Heart shares through poetry some of the knowledge Barbara has accumulated through her equine encounters.

Little Girl Giggles

The gift is sweeter than that very first kiss

Seeing those looks of sheer wonder and bliss

There is nothing quite like watching the eyes

Of a child as she squeals with excited cries

As the magic of real horses fills up the space

The look of pure amazement covers her face
