The Mare and the Mouse

A tapestry of horse stories woven with Native American wisdom and the soul of the Southwest.
Meant to be read aloud around campfires, especially to people who think only rich people or rednecks ride horses, Prechtel credits both his own physical and spiritual survival in "modernity's mad rush to nowhere" with the sanity of riding and living with his Southwestern horses. These little horses took him flying over ravines into deep-mountain Holy places, backwards over streams, into churches—mounted—to win a bet by kissing antagonistic preachers on the pulpit, and in general keeping alive an older spirit in an age where horses have been sadly removed from our own everyday lives after three millennia as the closest companions of our ancestors' dreams and mythologies.

The Mare and the Mouse is for those who yearn for a simpler life, a deeper connection to nature, and a richer understanding of Native American traditions. Discover the transformative power of horses and the wisdom they offer in this heartwarming and inspiring collection. It's time to get busy and rediscover the magic!
