Girls love horses! Horsewoman Rebecca Ondov invites tweens (ages 8 to 12) to experience life around horses—caring for them, getting to know their personalities, training them, and loving them.

Using their love for horses as a base, Great Horse Stories for Girls helps girls:

  • build confidence in God's love and provision
  • create stronger friendships
  • know how to handle "the blues"
  • make wise choices
  • develop an active prayer life

Daughters will enjoy these true stories of interacting with horses and encounter life-changing truths that will help them grow strong spiritually, emotionally, and mentally.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"As a former horse-crazy tween and current horsewoman I found the content interesting and an enjoyable read. The stories should interest girls who are at that critical age when life is one bewildering challenge after another while increasing their understanding of horses and themselves. Kudus to Rebecca!"
Patricia Meyer, Just For You Ministries Inc.



"You don't have to be a girl or a horse lover to enjoy this insightful book. The author has a knack for seeing everyday experiences as parables that can help us navigate life's challenges. Great Horse Stories for Girls offers solid insights for young (and not-so-young) people. Highly recommended!
Steve Schaefer



"Just like Rebecca's previous books, I found this book lovely, entertaining and so very inspirational. Her stories will transport you into the pasture or into the saddle with her. While I am an adult, I still enjoyed the short stories and inspirational insights. Rebecca never disappoints and I can highly recommend her books to anyone. Young, horse crazy girls in particular will love this book."
Ute Shepherd



"Rebecca will draw you into the story and make you feel like you are there and can feel the horse's warm breath on your hand and the soft touch of its velvet noses. Even as a young Christian I can understand the message that Rebecca so artfully weaves from the story and it makes me feel happy and close to tears at the same time. In Rebecca's book she keeps reminding us to trust in the Lord and ask him first before doing something and even if we make a mistake he is always there to help us. For me that is very encouraging as a Christian. I have thoroughly enjoyed this book and all Rebecca's books and I can guarantee that you will too.
Allison C.



"While I was reading Rebecca's book, I felt as if she was in the same room telling me about her wonderful horse family and how they enrich her life. I highly recommend this book to all those horse crazy girls out there, young and old; your life will truly be enriched. Regardless of your age, you will find Rebecca's book entertaining as well as inspirational."
Karen Lindley



"Rebecca freely shares the mistakes she made including how she learned a few things the hard way and applies what she learned from mistakes and how God can take the circumstances and turn them into a blessing. A very good book for horse-crazy girls!"
Kim Shanks, Founder and President of Christian Horse-lover's Club Inc., author of the CHC Inc. curriculum



"Perfectly presented for home-schoolers, Christian horse campers, and any other group of young ladies eager to know more about real life with horses and the faithfulness of our Lord. Maybe your horse-crazy daughter or granddaughter is ready for 'that talk.' This book is a perfect way to open the discussion of how young ladies become young women with solid foundations for the future—or perhaps to motivate self-directed study. Great Horse Stories for Girls gives you many ways to use it to bless that special someone."
Lynn Baber, author and equine clinician



"Rebecca has captured the true essence of what it is like to grow from being a little girl to a young woman. Great Horse Stories for Girls will be a required reading for my granddaughters. Rebecca shows her readers a lot of her true self while her descriptive writing brings you right alongside her almost as if you were there sharing the experience with her. I thoroughly enjoyed the book"

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Extraordinary describes Rebecca Ondov's life. Fifteen years she rode her horse through the Bob Marshall Wilderness Complex of Montana from May through December, leading groups of people on horseback and packing their gear on mules over miles of rugged winding trails. Two years she rode for the U.S. Forest Service as the Wilderness Ranger for the Scapegoat Wilderness. With her German shepherd trotting along side, she roamed thousands of miles of mountain trails--alone--pulling her pack mule behind her. Often times, on the ten-day hitches she never saw another soul.

Through the years Rebecca developed a unique outlook on life. Each day proved simple--either she lived or she died. If she lived, then she tackled the next day's adventures. "Believe me," say Rebecca, "I developed tons of character as I encountered everything from grizzly bears to injured horses! Most of the time, I worked at least a two-day horseback ride from the nearest help. All I had to fix the situation were my wits and God--God always turned out to be my best bet.

With pen and paper, Rebecca has captured these adventures to share them with you. Rebecca invites you to, "Saddle up with me and ride through the pages of my writings for an adventure of a lifetime."

The stories tucked away in this book are simply amazing. This is a wonderful easy read for anyone who enjoys horses or simply enjoys true stories that are heartwarming. This book has so much to offer and the biblical takeaway messages from each chapter make you start your day a little lighter, kinder, and open to wonderful possibilities! All of Rebeccas books are amazing, I am so thankful to have come across her books as they have really been life changing for my life and faith. I have purchased this book a few times already because I kept giving my copy away to friends. This time I am purchasing 12, giving some over the Holidays and keeping a few to have on hand as gifts to friends or people who i come across who might benefit from reading this book. A book can really change your life or at least make a positive impact. Give this book a try I promise you won't be disappointed

Rebecca's done it again! Another book of great horse stories, some from her own experience but many from the experiences of others who have had healing, redemptive or learning relationships with some pretty fantastic horses, mules and even one donkey. But this is not just a horsey book. Every story is an inspiration, whether it's about a horse turning around a teen's attitude towards life, providing much-needed physical therapy, helping a young bashful kid build confidence to relate to others or even helping someone get past a deep fear because of an earlier painful experience. Just like her earlier books, there are stories that will make you laugh, some that will make you cry and some that will keep you glued to your seat, unable to stop reading until you find out how the story ends. It's awesome how Rebecca pulls a spiritual lesson from each story, relating each one to some event in the Bible, and uses the story to show how to live the life of faith. I promise you'll love these stories, whether you are a horse lover or rider or just wish you were.

I love all of Rebecca's books. This one is different in that it has stories from her readers, but also still has some of Rebecca's excellent contributions. I bought this book right before I left on a trip and LOVED having it with me. I was away from my horse, and traveling overseas. This book was perfect as it reminds me with every story, no matter where I go, God was right there too. It also helped since I missed my horse. God sure does bless us through our horses, and through Rebecca's books. I will be buying several of them to give to the "horsewomen" in my life.

I bought the book for my granddaughter, whose 10. She hasn't started to read it yet. I read it & found it very interesting & great for inspiring children. She gives fine advice for children on often occurring problems they encounter. I have enjoyed Rebecca's Guideposts Daily Book, since she began. I was intrigued when I saw about this book. I thought my granddaughter, who has a firm faith would enjoy these devotions. I have read Upper Room everyday since I was 12. I am 72 now! It has been so helpful to me, I want her to start that habit.

GREAT book of True Life experiences. Easy reading. Very well written to give vivid mental pictures of the events. I recommend it Highly!
I lived in MT. and experienced some of the very same, or similar circumstances wandering and photographing in the mountains that Rebecca describes. It brought back identical thoughts and feelings of Her Scriptural applications and lessons learned. I felt like I was right there again reliving my own all over again.

When this book was advertised there was no mention that the author is extremely involved with God. The theme ran through all the stories so we did not feel it was appropriate to give it to our grand daugther.
