    About this audiobook

    The heartwarming true story of a blind horse named Joey.

    At the height of his show career, this beautiful Appaloosa's majestic stature, strength, and willingness to work made him the perfect partner. But when an injury cost Joey his show career, he moved from one owner to the next, ultimately experiencing severe abuse and neglect. A rescue group found Joey nearly dead from starvation-and blind.

    Then he came to Hope Reins-a ranch dedicated to helping hurting kids who had been abused, emotionally wounded, or unwanted. By teaching these children to care for rescued animals, the Hope Reins staff were convinced they could reach kids with love and hope and show them that we are never forgotten by God.

    But could the financially struggling ranch afford to take care of a blind horse that no one else wanted? Could Joey somehow learn to trust people even though the world had hurt him so badly? And what would happen-to Joey, the kids, and Hope Reins-if they failed?

    A true story of friendship destined to become a classic, Joey will touch your heart and reveal the power of finding light in the darkness.

    • 5/5
      This is the true story of Joey, a broken horse who brought healing to others. The story of Joey is one that you will need a box of tissues or a handkerchief close by. I cried both happy and sad tears as I read about all the lives that Joey touched and the way he helped heal everyone he came in contact with. I was filled with awe as I read this inspirational story, filled with faith both human and animal. Throughout the story of Joey, Jennifer mentions having blind faith which is definitely not easy. Having blind faith is always a work in process no matter whether it is with an animal, another human being, or with God. As a dog owner I witness blind faith on a daily basis. I see that blind faith in my dog’s eyes that I will always be there to provide for him. All animals love unconditionally which is something that we as humans need to learn to do. Kim’s one word thought throughout this story “trust” which is something we have to learn do in order to actually develop blind faith. Once we trust blind faith with come. Kim Tschirret the founder of Hope Reins said something that really stuck with me as she consoled Sarah, “Sarah, all of us are works in progress. We all bring hurts and sins and brokenness to the ranch. But that’s the beautiful thing! God takes our messes—our heaps of ashes—and turns them into something more beautiful than we could ever imagine.” This made me think and I realized that God does this for all of us everywhere we are as long as we have faith in him and put our lives in his hands.Jennifer Bleakley may be a debut author but you would never know it reading this heartfelt story. Jennifer has a calling and that is writing. She drew me in, and transported me to Hope Reins where I also found healing as I read the story of Joey’s life. Thank you Jennifer for answering your calling to write this story. By doing so you have forever continued Joey’s mission of healing.I received a complimentary copy of this book as part of the author’s Celebrate Lit book tour via NetGalley.
