Anyone who is a horse lover and Elvis lover will like this book.  I had no idea he owned another farm where he keep some of his horses and that he owned so many.  Very interesting.

This book is from a series dealing with films of movie stars. It was put out in the 1970s through the mid 1980's or thereabouts and are now quite collectible. This book offers a lot of nice photos of Elvis and a section devoted to each of his films. There is some interesting information regarding each movie as well. It does not delve too deeply into Elvis' career or each movie, but gives enough good, general information. I would call this book "A Survey of Elvis Presley Films 101" and I highly recommend it for fans of Elvis as well as people who are interested in his films. It is out of print, but I found a beautiful copy through Amazon's marketplace.

I really enjoyed these books. It was a little different than other books since the dog elvis would have chapters talking his human family. I had to read them one after the other. I got first few at bookstore then when I got my nook I would check for more. hope peggy has more coming.

This is a nice coffee table volume of photos mostly shot by fans with their "Brownies" and "Instamatics".  It is best for true "Elvis people", especially when purchased used at nice price. I looked through it once and passed it on to friends.

I bought this book for my daughter who just loves horses.  She really enjoys having me read it to her and looking at the pictures.  It is a good general reference book for people wanting to learn more about horses.

I am really enjoying my "Horse Sanctuary" book.  The pictures are awesome, of course there is no bad picture of a horse in my world.  Love this book.  Can't wait to get a coffee table to display it on.....right now it is on a small leather ottoman for now, looks great.  Whenever I have a bad day I pick up my horse book and start looking at the pictures and it makes me feel better.
I have donated to horse rescues and the one I did donate to is in this book (Front Range Equine Rescue).  Lovely!
thank you.

I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
I enjoyed this book because of my adventures of having a horse when I was young. My children also enjoyed this book.
Moxie Wyoming is hoping for a horse for her tenth birthday. She is very disappointed when her father leads a gray speckled, swayback mare off the trailer and says Happy birthday! Definitely not the horse she had been hoping for. But as Moxie gets to know Misty she discovers that Misty has some magical powers of her own. Together, the two lead a herd of wild mustangs to safety away from some mustang rustlers. Moxie learns that you cant judge a book by its cover.
This is a cute chapter book for intermediate readers. My children ages 11 thru 14 loved it. Definitely an enjoyable magical tale.  Although part of a series, a great stand alone novel.

I really enjoyed this book plus the pictures.  A person can really see how young they were in their actions and the things they did.  Im only sorry that Elvis was so giving in the beginning of his career - maybe if he hadn't been so available to his fans and other people he might not have been easily lead down the path of drugs.  Also, a person can see how he came from such a poor live and which in turn made him an easy prey for hand outs.

I've read this book twice now.  I enjoy it because Priscilla's writing style is easy to read and easy to follow.  She makes it easy for the average reader to understand how she became part of Elvis's life, and how his strange life-style became the norm for her.
The book does not come across as Elvis-bashing, in my opinion. She conveys that she loved him very much, but when he began abusing drugs, she simply could not stand by and watch him kill himself.
If you want to know more about Elvis's "secret" life off-stage and away from the cameras, this is the book to read. It's not at all "tabloid-ish" it appears to be just the facts as Priscilla lived and experienced them.

I like to read about horses and families and this was a real good book about both.  When I was reading Misty of Chincoteague, I almost felt like I was on the island with Paul, Maureen and their Grandparents.  I really would recommend this book to anyone who likes to read about horses and I liked how it ended.

Humans and horses have worked and played together for centuries, and this bond finds its way into everyday life when you have a child who loves horses.  My oldest son read horse books, played with model horses, and sat astride his stick horse to ride far and wide in search of . . . who knows what?  Best of all, he found and married a horse lover, and, together, they dream of a barn and pasture for that someday horse of their own.

The Horse of My Heart captures this adoration of horses in thirty-two stories, written by a team of horse-lovers and expertly corralled by editor, Callie Smith Grant.  Sometimes its the little girl who grows up to find her hearts desire in some horse barn, but just as often its the mum or dad with the longing for a four-legged friend who doubles as transportation.

Along with this selection of stories, readers will find articles profiling famous horses in history along with informational pieces about horse-lore from the origin of the term horsepower to the secret identity of most Amish buggy horses.

The outside of a horse is good for the inside of a man, is a quote Ive heard attributed to Ronald Reagan, who may have gotten it from Winston Churchill, but a Google search just muddies the waters with names like Woodrow Wilsons physician and someone named Theodore Parker.  At any rate, whoever said the words would appreciate the evidence for their truth provided in the pages of The Horse of My Heart:

Horses are herd animals, and Tash and I had found our herd  together.  She was my kindred spirit.

Baja was a true blue friend who stuck closer than a brother.

Accounts of horses sleeping outside their owners bedroom window, helping their riders to overcome fears, and bringing out the hero in people are just a small cross section of the inspiring tales offered.  Writers share their experiences of relationships of mutual trust, and acknowledge that, as they have trained their horse, their horse is also training them.

This inspiring collection is a sure hit for the horse-lovers on your Christmas list.

I bought this book for my 10 year old granddaughter. She loves Elvis. She told me that she had already read another Elvis biography and that she did learn some new things from this book. She said she really liked the book.
