Character/Bible Resource for Kids Who Love Horses

A lady from our church, who was my supervisor in the ACE school I attended in the 70’s, and has been my homeschool evaluator for years, is also an author. She has written a series of chapter books called Keystone Stables (we’re from PA:), as well as some other individual books. She just recently had a book published called “Straight From the Horse’s Mouth”. It is a 60 day devotional, each day focusing on a different breed of horse. My daughter has been using it for some character/Bible study a couple days a week. Marsha Hubler, the author, will give description about a horse, including behavior, and then correlate it with a Scripture verse and character trait of a person, and encourage the reader to have, or not have, the trait displayed by the horse. One of the devotion titles is “The Abtenauer: Small but Mighty”. Marsha gives information about the Abtenauer (draft horse), and tells how this horse is small, but very strong and does much work. The verse that goes along with it is II Corinthians 10:4. “For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds.” She encourages the reader that even though we think we can’t do something, we can with God’s strength. Philippians 4:13. She ends with a prayer and then a Saddle Up section (What would God have me to do?), where there is a little written work. She also includes a website where more information can be found about the different horses. My 15yo daughter is doing this independently and is learning from it.
