The White Horse

Based on a real-life revelational experience that is described in the substantial Afterword section The White Horse teaches that one should not judge another by superficial characteristics. In a rural setting whose exact time and setting are purposely undefined a family of four young children and their parents rejects a horse because of his skin color. The horse initially resigns himself to his outcast status but when the children find themselves in danger he emerges as a confident rescuer. The horses heroic act proves to the family and to the horse himself that their preconceived prejudices about him were for many reasons entirely wrong.
