Joe - the Horse Nobody Loved

By: Vicky S. Kaseorg

Narrated by: Dorothy Deavers

Joe, an ugly and unloved horse, trusts no one, and no one trusts him. Until Vicky. This is the story of a troubled horse and the little girl who loves him.

Based on the true adventures of the author's childhood 50 years ago, Joe teaches the lesson that sometimes beauty is not skin deep but heart deep. That the unloved have much to show us about the true nature of love.

Wonderful!

What made the experience of listening to Joe - the Horse Nobody Loved the most enjoyable?

I received the Audible version straight from the author. That in itself makes it special.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Of course, Vicky herself. I related to her so much with her love of animals, being a bit of a loner, and her determination.

What aspect of Dorothy Deavers’s performance would you have changed?

Although she has a very pleasant voice, I thought there were times when she sounded a little sleepy and when I read the same lines in the book, I didn't hear "sleepy" at all. She slurs her words sometimes and I had to stop and back up 30 seconds to hear the line again because I didn't understand her. But that was minor in an otherwise fine performance on her part.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Without spoiling the story for anyone, the final chapter had me crying so hard I couldn't see.

Any additional comments?

I love a good "animal story", and this one goes down on my list of favorites of all time. Wonderful book, highly recommended.

brought me back to my childhood!

as I listened to this book it transported me back to my childhood growing up at Coventry Riding Stables. oh the horses that we had on the hack line, each with personalities and quirks. loved this book and reliving my childhood!

Absolutely Wonderful

Fantastic listen!! Narrator was perfect for this book. If you love a good story you'll love this one. Beautiful story.

Heartwarming memoir

This is a memorable true story of how an old horse and a young girl helped each other navigate through lonely times and find joy. It is a great description of how love, patience and determination can turn even the sourest of horses around.
