Various short stories by Hilary Walker

Shoestring Rider by Hilary Walker
The story starts out with Emma and how she was with
Wisdom her horse and just refuses to jump. The horse
trainer had tried different things to no avail and she was
the one that was supposedly very knowledgeable about
this subject. Emma took it upon herself after working at
the bank all day everyday to go online and research and
she found out that there was a man in England who had
overcome these obstacles with horses and she printed them out.
She tried a few to actually find one that worked.  She replied back to
him to thank him for his knowledge.  She started looking at the
woman trainer doubting she was a qualified trainer.
I love how at the end we learn the people at the stable stopped shunning
her and she was basically treated as a celebrity.
 I am not a horse person have never been on a horse hope to ride one
someday.  It's just so interesting a subject for me to learn all these
things about horses and people and just everything surrounding the
subject. Love where the title comes from.
Received this review copy from the author and htis is my honest opinion.

Hillie's story by Hilary Walker
This one is about a special family dog but they were able to obtain
overseas. Really enjoyed learning about the process about getting a dog
 from overseas and bringing it back to the States.
So many things that are necessary in order for the dog to make it
through the rules and regulations.
It's a shame to hear about the pain and suffering the dog had experienced.
Treasured family member.
Received this review copy from the author and this is my honest opinion.

Invalid argument by Hilary Walker
This is a story of a man without a handicap placard and he  parks in a handicap
spot at the store.  Many accumulate wondering why he's
parked there when other legitimate people with placards are not able to.
They soon realize what is disability is so don't be so quick to judge when you don't know all the facts.
Good lesson to learn.
