Calypso - Dark Horse W. Mobley

From the time he came to the Idaho ranch as a yearling, Calypso acted like a 'Dark Horse.' This meant he was undisciplined in his ways, and not easy to win over. The young horse did not understand the attracting power of his new owners' love. Within these chapters of Calypso's training experiences, love is shown and shared from the first brushing he got in the cold, dark barn; to his first adventure away from the comfort of his corral. In the Dark Horse's growing up years, he encounters many new friends. Part of Calypso's temperament was that he was always a curious horse, which often got him into a lot of trouble. Would he ever conform to the ways of a gentle and useful horse?As you join Calypso on his four year journey, you also will learn-first, from the listing of new vocabulary words in each chapter, and second, you will learn ideas on how to train your own horse, just as Grandpa did.[Most all of the incidents described in the book really happened, except for the 2, 'Dream' chapters.] Enjoy, Lenore
