Klappentext

The Christmas Horse Rescue A heartwarming holiday story of courage, compassion, and the magic of second chances.

When twelve-year-old Ellie and her little brother Jack discover an abandoned horse shivering in the snow just before Christmas, their world changes forever. With the help of a retired riding instructor and a small-town community, they learn that kindness, teamwork, and courage can heal even the deepest wounds. Set against the snowy charm of Maple Hollow, The Christmas Horse Rescue blends the cozy spirit of the holidays with an unforgettable animal rescue adventure. As the children work to save the horse they name Star, they uncover what the season is truly about - hope, family, and the joy of giving.
