This book is about a old brown horse named pie who survives a fatal attack by a bull.

my favourite picture in the book is the one at the back with durango and little one.

My favourite part was when when dusty took off with the keeper on his neck.we laughed and laughed and laughed.

I felt bad for Pie when he got attacked by the bull but as the book went on it got happier.

I learned that is a very strong and stubborn horse! and I also learned alot about the other horses who were Pie's friends.

I think that everybody would like it. it's a awesome story and I think that everyone should have a horse named Pie! Kandy is the
best author ever!

I loved reading this story with my daughter! it was so full of passion and purpose. Kandy really out did herself with this book, it was so full of heart, laughter, friends and family.

this is the story of Pie, a ranch horse who was attacked by and bull and severely damaged. He is sold to a new stable and not expected to recover, miraculously however he does!

Kandy Kay Scaramuzzo tells the story in the eyes of Pie, you learn about his pride, his gentle nature and most of all the deep love that develops between him and his rider little one.

Pie is a journey of laughter, love and the unshakeable spirit of the best horse I have ever had the pleasure to read about!

I really enjoyed all the horses in the stable but I have to say the antics of the keeper and her horse were the best! my daughter and I laughed and laughed countless times! This story has so much heart and so much spirit you never want to put it down!

I highly recommend this to all the families out there! it is a journey you will not want to miss out on! ( )

While I found the concept of this book to be interesting, there were too many grammatical errors for me to get past in order to enjoy the book. Also, I am of the opinion that if you have to put a cast of characters at the beginning of your book so that your readers can keep them straight, then you probably have too many characters in your book.

Writing a story in the first person is not uncommon, but when that first person is a horse, well, I really wasn't expecting it to actually be entertaining to say the least. Thankfully since I have such a huge admiration and respect for horses, I decided to give it a read. What a pleasant and thoroughly enjoyable story this is.
The title is a little misleading. Pie may be an old brown horse now, but he was nothing of the sort during the story. Kandy brought that personable horse to life like he was almost one of us. As we all know, animals have feelings, thoughts and ways to communicate just like we do. Even though some, and maybe a lot of people, don't think about this in a very in depth way, Kandy proves that to be our oversight and sadly our loss. Because as you read the story, the thoughts, and emotions of how Kandy presented these majestic animals is nothing short of enthralling, entertaining, and enlightening.
Sometimes you just had to laugh out loud, as Pie literally thought like an animal would at our crazy antics, and his simplistic and natural understanding of how life just is. We make it complicated, and they bring it back to basics and fun.
Reading about Pie and his story made you really wish you could have gotten to know him, even enjoyed some of the same events with him. To have known and spent time with him would have been a cherished privilege. Knowing the owners of Pie could teach all of us the meaning of unconditional love.
As you learn from this book, taking care of a horse or more, is not for the faint of heart. It is work, money, time, and emotion, but the rewards are so much greater than what is given, that the comparison is actually impossible. For those who do it and have done it, like the owners of Pie, they wouldn't trade it for the world.
Pie calls the owner, keeper. His love, thankfulness, appreciation and admiration of keeper is obvious, and just as obvious is, it's well deserved. I am sure the keeper is the author, and I am sure you will see, as I did, that the spirit of the keeper is nothing short of incredible. It is apparent that unconditional love is as central to her core as the automatic beating of her heart. People like this should be respected and emulated. Pie knew this and showed her and his charge, little one just how much love he had to give back.
This story should be read by everyone, and really should be a required reading in schools everywhere. It is not only enjoyable and entertaining; it is educational in more ways than you can imagine. Thanks for the privilege of reading and writing a review of your book Kandy. It was a great pleasure. ( )
