In "Horse Tails by Shasta" a horse tells the story of his life. His adventures include trying to befriend a porcupine, a snowman, a kid goat, neighbood ponies, dogs and puppies. By middle age, when a horse friend joins him in his pasture, his escaping through the fence and roaming free has become a habit.
He lived to be 30 years old.
The story is true.
Every page is colorfully illustrated by Deborah DeShon.
Excerpt
"I was curious and nosey. I put my nose on a porcupine's tail early one morning and got many quills stuck in it. 'Ouch' that hurt, as did the horse doctor, called a vet, when he pulled the quills out with pliers.
The next time my mother warns me about something, I will listen."

Great story, I don't have kids but I love horses and loved the book. The author must love horses also to keep Shasta for his whole life--good for you Ms. Gott.
I loved writing this book in honor or a horse I owned from his birth to his death 30 years later. He was one of a kind: stubborn, wiillfull,uncooperative, playful, kind, and loved life...everyone loved him.
