Horses of the Storm September 7, 2008
I really liked this book. It was hard to read sometimes being a horse owner living in Florida, but it also taught me a few things and thank God for the the group of men and women who took the time out of their own lives to save all these wonderful creatures. We could never thank them enough. GREAT READ!

This is a heartfelt story of heroes and the will to survive under the most tragic circumstances.
In the aftermath of the August 29, 2005, devastating destruction of Katrina, the untold suffering was not just felt by vast numbers of residents in the Gulf Coast area.
The book chronicles the tireless work by Louisiana State University's Equine Rescue Team to rescue the animals in oftentimes very dangerous circumstances.
Becoming the riders after the storm, this is an incredible chronicle of individuals and the heart & soul that only comes from a strong desire to live.
