Shane’s Mane

Orla loves horses. She helps Grandpa feed his horses every day. But Orla worries that she will never learn to ride a horse, or do anything else that matters — because she can’t even read a book! In the end, it is Shane, a gray horse with a long mane, who has the answer Orla is looking for.

Beautifully illustrated with more than 70 color photographs, Shane’s Mane is a timeless story of the adventure of life from an author with a firsthand knowledge of life on a small horse farm.

Nicole Drumheller Gargus will delight and inspire readers young and old with her tale of courage, her story of victory. Be prepared to have your heart moved and your life changed by the magical journey that is Shane’s Mane. — Robb C. Sewell, MFA
