Arabian Horse

In the chaotic last days of the war, a small troop of battle-weary American soldiers captures a German spy and makes an astonishing find - his briefcase is empty but for photos of beautiful white horses that have been stolen and kept on a secret farm behind enemy lines. Hitler has stockpiled the world's finest purebreds in order to breed the perfect military machine - an equine master race. But with the starving Russian army closing in, the animals are in imminent danger of being slaughtered for food.

Inspired by a true story, The Stallion and His Peculiar Boy will touch your heart as no other horse story has before. World War II is raging. Hitler is hiding away the world's most beautiful purebred horses in a little village in Czechoslovakia. Lipizzaners, Thoroughbreds, and the prize Polish Arabians are being used in his experiments to create the perfect war horse. A peculiar twelve-year-old boy from the village named Teodor becomes the groom for one of those special horses - Witez II, one of the most famous Arabian stallions of all time.

With wild desert rides, visits to the baths, a beautiful harem woman, and a growing affection for someone she ...

Between 1992 and 2002, I served as a Muslim Chaplain in correctional facilities across Michigan and California. My final post was at a juvenile correctional facility for girls in Ventura County, California — a place where stories of hardship and lost innocence filled every corridor. Over the years, I saw countless faces, and most began to look the same — worn by pain, regret, and the slow erosion of hope. But one day, a new arrival walked into the facility — and changed everything. She was unlike anyone I had ever seen. Her long blonde hair caught the light even in that dim hall, and ...

There is nothing like leading a horse through endless labyrinth-like circles or listening to the trickle of water running over swollen legs, to place me into a state of contemplation. And this is how my story begins. Nursing my ten-year-old Arabian mare through a mysterious week-long illness while my mind, and this book, remembers the five years of work, errors, triumphs and tragedies that ultimately led to a true partnership with my dressage and trail horse. Horseback riding is my passion, part of my daily existence and happiness, and when my riding horse unexpectedly died, I needed to ...

The beautiful Sheherazade, threatened with death, manages to postpone the fatal day by telling one marvellous story every night.
