The second volume of 'A School Horse Legacy...More Tails Volume 2' continues the stories of the school horses that endowed their riders with skills and character that those students carried with them long after they left the riding school. Each horse had a special place in the school and in the hearts of their riders. These horses, along with Anne Wade-Hornsby, teacher and trainer, challenged and encouraged their charges to always do their best. The results are chronicled in this book. The nine horses here worked until the formal riding school closed in 2011. However, Anne's students would not let her retire, and at the age of 26, in 2018, her last school horse is still giving lessons. The introduction and glossary are included. Again, students provide first hand reminiscences and emails. Again, we are led to appreciate the wonder in a life shared with a great horse.
