Publisher's summary

The extraordinary bond between Lissa Bachner, a young blind woman, and Milo, a neglected, frightened horse, helped them become one of America's most inspiring, successful riding teams in the world of show jumping.

Lissa Bachner was born with a passion for horses and won her first blue ribbon at age five. Other awards would follow as a young rider, and for years Lissa trained with jumpers, tackling more difficult leaps, and working to perfect her ride.

When blindness struck in her teens, it appeared her passion for riding would come to an end. How could she jump hurdles when she could barely navigate through her own home?

But success, trust, and love came to Lissa when her trainer convinced her to buy a "diamond in the rough" from Germany. On New Year's Eve, Milo arrived at the barn, frightened and neglected. Taking one look at his shaking, filthy body, Lissa promised Milo that he would only know kindness. Through countless eye surgeries and the many months of training and work, Lissa and Milo formed a magic bond that made them inseparable.

With effortless humor and penetrating compassion, Lissa weaves a story of unfaltering faith in Milo, and the unconditional love they shared.

Future Disney movie

An inspiring story of a brave hearted duo, overcoming the odds together. Great listen. There is just something about this that epitomizes the American spirit and further confirms the importance of connection between people and animals.

Inspirational Listen

The highest of highs and lowest of lows. Proving over and over that mind over matter is the most amazing thing and can prevail if the will is strong enough. Most importantly, the undeniable bond between an extra special horse and HIS HUMAN should never be discounted or ignored and should definitively be cherished. This is a great reminder to always open your mind and hear your horse!!!

Amazing story

Amazing story. I wasn't crazy about the way it was narrated. The narrator seemed to emphasize every sentence which got tiring.

Amazing!

What an amazing and inspirational story. Going to go home and hug my horses. Hearing their story reminds me that anything is possible with hard work, love, teamwork and trust. Horses are some special beings for sure. They came in to each other’s lives just at the right moments.

Tedious, drawn-out telling of story

The achievements of this writer and her horse could have been told in a brief, engaging way, but instead it consists of heaps of vacuous dialogue and emotional outbursts -- with a just enough poignant trauma to be engaging (early on, that is). Terrible narration.
