Little Viking Horse

Little Viking Horse

Sold to a new home, Icelandic horse Fleygur longs to find a horse-talking human who can understand him. Instead, he endures cruelty and is finally abandoned. Rescued by 11-year-old Roger, Fleygur begins to believe he has found 'the one'. But can they each overcome their past trauma? Can Roger hold on to his little Viking horse, and will Fleygur trust Roger enough to follow him into a burning barn...? A heart-warming story of trust and friendship, for 9-12 year-olds and horse lovers of any age. Little Viking Horse explores the special bond between a horse and his boy, Roger, as they learn to truly listen to one another. "It's got that Black Beauty feel..."
