Summary: This is the second book in the Horses of the Maury River series and told through the viewpoint of Macadoo. Macadoo is a Belgian horse who as a colt challenged his father in order to protect his mother and the rest of the herd.  He learns from that experience that his purpose in life is to help and serve others.  He moves on to other stables and has friends come and go, but finds courage to move ahead. Macadoo eventually finds a good home and friends where he learns to teach children therapeutic riding and vaulting.

Review: This book reminded me of the classic tale,  Black Beauty, because it is told through the eyes of the horse and he must undergo disappointments before finding his forever home as in Black Beauty.  Horse lovers will enjoy this touching story about courage and friendship.
