Best-Selling Author Jackie Parry Donates Book Proceeds to Horse Charities

Worldwide, July 6, 2015 (Newswire.com) - The story: Parry and her husband, Noel, rescued five horses from an unknown fate. They also sold everything they had.

Parry and her husband trained the scared, scatty horses and pushed their own unfit bodies to meld them into one team.

"A hauntingly beautiful story."

Danielle Rose, Narrative Ink Editing LLC

All seven became reliant on one another as they trekked along part of Australia’s majestic Bicentennial National Trail.

What started as a dream adventure turned out to be more than they had ever imagined. The beauty of the trail didn’t lessen its dangers; with all their worldly possessions on horseback, Jackie and Noel made mistakes and with humour, learned the hard way. What would Jackie and Noel do if one of the horses was broken? Would they have the strength to put it down? Or would a miracle save them all?

Emotional histories were tackled by animal and human. Fears were faced and conquered, and bonds forged. They were amateur horse-handlers, but they created something special, unique, and incredibly endearing.

“We saved their lives,” Parry says. “But they changed ours forever.”

Parry says, “I am horrified by the stories of neglect, but also many horses retire from harness racing at a young age and have so much left to give. If a new home is not found they are put down. That’s why I have decided to help where I can – I am not rich – just passionate!
