If you’re looking for audiobooks that encompass adventure, nail-biting excitement, friendship, courage and loyalty, look no further than these three, great, horse-tales.
War Horse, by Michael Morpurgo depicts World War I through the unlikely eyes of a farm horse. Separated from his beloved owner and recruited into the war effort, the horse braves the brutality of battle, all the while yearning for an eventual reunion.
Come on Seabicuit is the true tale about a misfit of a racehorse who captured American hearts during the depths of the Great Depression. The redemption of the intelligent but misunderstood Seabiscuit, and his equally misunderstood jockey, Red Pollard, is one for the ages.
In The Black Stallion, a wild Arabian horse and a young lad help each other survive a freak shipwreck during a voyage from Africa to America. Once rescued, they go on to forming an unshakeable friendship and a thrilling racing team. Suspense and excitement infuse Muller’s reading.
