Sonrise Stable: Rosie and Scamper

by Vicki Watson, Janet Griffin-Scott (Illustrator)

Overview

While learning to ride at Sonrise Stable, nine-year-old Rosie dreams of the horse shows she will win with her pony, Jet. Two years later, nothing is exactly the way Rosie planned it-she's riding a new pony, Scamper, and learning that life isn't always easy. But it's as Rosie reaches out to the new girl next door that she truly begins to see that God works all things together for good in our lives. Rosie and Scamper is the first book in the Sonrise Stable series, heartwarming stories of an extended homeschooling family as they live, learn, and love together. Mixing adventure, life lessons, and realistic horse experiences, the series is a must for readers who enjoy family values, Christian faith, and, of course, horses!

About the Author

My love of horses began when a neighbor offered me my first ride behind her on her palomino Quarter Horse. From my 8-year-old perspective, he seemed like the biggest horse in the world. From that moment on, I was hooked. Horses were to become a very important part of my life, although I never could have imagined, at the time, how much God would teach me about Himself and my relationship to Him through these wonderful animals.

The Sonrise Stable series combines my love of God and horses in stories designed to help the reader learn more about both.

Editorial Reviews

When this book came in the mail, my girls grabbed it and insisted they both got to read it before I could. As MiniMe finished the last page, and closed the book, her first words were "we HAVE to get the next book!!" Sassy agreed. When I finally got to read it, I could see why they had enjoyed this book so much, and I'm thrilled that they are so thoroughly enjoying a series of books about other Christian, homeschooled children. This book wove subtle, but powerful Scriptural lessons without sounding the least bit "preachy". While the children in the story are homeschooled, I think this book would appeal to any Christian family. The story centers around the girls' adventures with their horses and interactions with their family and friends.
