Books with title The Little White Horse

Drawn from Doctor Eli Goodman’s real-life revelational experience that racism is not only morally wrong, but contrary to biologic science, The White Horse teaches that one should not judge another by superficial characteristics. On a secluded farm, a family of four young children eagerly awaits the birth of a new horse, only to be shocked by the horse’s skin color when he arrives. The family rejects the horse based on his appearance. “He was too strange for them to look at. He had ruined their dreams of another beautiful black horse on the farm, and they were unable to forgive him for that.” The horse internalizes their rejection, and falls into sadness and isolation. “He realized that his skin was a different color from that of his parents, and that he was not as beautiful or as strong as were either they or the other horses he had seen. Yet his feelings were the same as those of any horse. He, too, wanted to be loved by the children and to play with them. He tried very hard every day to show them he loved them, and that he would enjoy giving them rides to wherever they wanted to go. He never succeeded, however, to make them understand how he felt. They hardly ever came close enough to him so that they could see the sadness in his eyes.” But one surreal day, the four children encounter grave danger, and they desperately need the horse they so brutally rebuked. They need The White Horse to save their lives.

The love for Irish horses is an old and enduring love. In Ireland, in County Cork, is a fair for trading horses that has been held for a 1,000 years, and continues to present day. The fair is believed to have continued since the time of the High King of all Ireland, Brian Boru. The following story is not about the fair, or the High King particularly and is an account the of the boy Rory and the white horse who came later. The story is set, near the Celtic Sea bounded by Cork County's coast, Ireland's southern end; the peninsulas and shores of England's isle and the Continent bound the sea to the South East; the mouth of the Cork harbor sends out and receiving ships across the sea, and beyond across the Atlantic: this is the story of Rory and the white horse, and the coin and girl Colleen. . .
