Heartland

Heartland Series #16 This series is about a stable called Heartland and horses that come here are usually afraid of something or they have been abused, so they cure them by using herbal remedies and patience. Amy, who is the main character, does the healing and is also heeling her grief of her mother who died in a car crash when saving an abandoned horse on a stormy night. In book 16 of the series, Ben, one of the stable hands is leaving so he can concentrate on showing his horse Red more. So Heartland finds a new stable hand named Joni who already knows a lot of the herbal remedies they use and how to use them. Also in this Heartland book right now they are curing a police horse named Venture who was injured in a tornado by falling tires while his rider Sergeant Garcia was trying to rescue kids in a trapped car. Venture is all healed, but starts rearing and bucking at the sight of the saddle, saddle pad, and bridle so any thing to do with tack. Amy gets concerned when he makes no progress at all. So if you want to find out what happens to Venture and all the rest at Heartland you will have to read the book. There are a total of 20 numbered books and a special edition book in the Heartland series. M.D.C Spokane WA

Heartland #16

My daugter read this book without putting it down. All the books in this series are a good read and keeps the girls wanting more.

Heartland # 16 is great

I thought that this book was GREAT! I was suprised that Ben decided to leave Heartland. I also recommend Heartland books # 3,4,6,8,9,11,and 13, but I liked all of the books in the series.

EXCELLENT ******************************

WHen Amy and her sister Lou return from Australia they are very happy to be home. When Lou announces her engagement to Scott Terwin, the local vet, their grandpa's girlfriend Nancy is eager to help plan for the wedding. Lou feels that Nancy is taking her mother's place and is very upset until she finds that she is noth the only one who has suffered loss. Meanwhile Ben, One of Heartland's two stable hands, makes plans to leave. Amy andthe others are pressed to find a new stable hand. Finally they find one who turns out to be perfect. She is very interested in Heartland's alternative methods and also helps find a cure for an unusual case in one of the horses that come into Heartland. His name Venture, he is a police horse that was injured in a recent storm. (the same on that left Ty, the other stable hand in a coma for weeks) All types of conventional methods have been tried on him and nothing seems to help. He's been Xrayed and inspected and there is not apparent problem. Amy is confident that her methods will help Venture, But when she tries they seem to have no effect. He tenses when she massages him and doesn't care for the essential oils and other natural remedies. When Amy is at the end of the rope, out of ideas to help Venture, the new stable hand really proves her worth when she finds a cure for the seemingly hopeless police horse. I REALLY enjoyed this book The last couple heartland books were kind of disappointing. I know Lauren Brooke has awesome talent as an author and it really shines in this series! This is one of my favorite books in the series I think it desereves WAY more than 5 stars!!!!!!! Way to go!

Surprise Surprise

This book is really great. Lou isn't sure if she wants the wedding without her mom there. Amy and Lou also discover that Nancy had a daughter that died at the age of 14. Amy also eventually gets through to Venture and belives there is hope. Joni is a new stable hand at the farm because Ben decides if he is going to advance to the top with Red he needs to be at a competeing stable so he leaves. I was not so surprised with that part because I knew he would want to continue to move up because everyone does. And in order to do that he would need to leave Heartland.
