Spanish Gold - Hoofbeats Across My Heart

Book excerpt: Spanish Gold is a charming novel that follows in the hoof-prints of a very special Spanish horse on his journey through life, through good times and bad.These memoirs follow Cantinero's journey from the beginning of his life in the beautiful marshland of Spain's Doñana National Park, to Germany, England and then Cyprus. Cantinero's words weave a story upon life's tapestry; teach us the suffering that horse-kind can endure at man's hand, and yet also shows us the good that can be achieved through selfless acts of kindness. This noble horse became an icon that stole into many people's hearts, helped them to achieve their dreams and changed their lives. He was a great teacher and a true soul-companion, as well as being one of the most majestic and beautiful stallions to walk this earth. Dancer, heart-thief, courageous friend, a soul of fire, a leader and a gentle diplomat. In these memories, is he honoured.
