Product Description
More than anything else, this is a book about love. Written by the founder of Catskill Animal Sanctuary, a haven for abused farm animals, this book depicts a world in which distinctions between ‘human’ and ‘animal’ are meaningless, a world where care and affection trump years of neglect and abuse. In this deeply moving and heartfelt book, you will hear about Dino, an old toothless pony who survived a fire and Cinnamon, a recent addition, who came, timid and thin, with a bullet hole in her left eye. Alongside these horses, roosters, pigs, sheep, rabbits, cows, and other animals is a staff of hilarious and always loving humans. Reading this book will profoundly—and joyously—change your life.

Where the Blind Horse Sings April 16, 2007

This is one of the most heartwarming books I have ever read. You can tell it was written by someone who loves what's she's doing. I had the good fortune to meet Kathy Stevens shortly after she opened her sanctuary, and I can tell you from first-hand experience that she does go around kissing the animals and singing to them. I also had the good fortune to meet many of the animals that Kathy writes about, like Buddy, Samson and Rambo among others. This book describes what many of us already know...animals are intelligent and have feelings and emotions. Interspersed among the many uplifting stories are lessons on what farm animals endure on the farm and how they are slaughtered (the descriptions are not pretty, but unfortunately, that is the reality for these animals). Even with these lessons, this book is heartwarming and an absolute joy to read. I would recommend it to anyone and everyone.

It is impossible to read this book without smiling, often laughing aloud and genuinely feeling connected to the stories within. Ms. Stevens intimately shares with us the life changing events that led her in each vocation to reach for higher goals and deeper meanings. This book is about faith, trust, hope, tenacity and heartfelt compassion for those sentient beings around us who so want and need our care. Each vignette is lovely. Lessons learned are etched. A wonderful, well written book. A pure joy.
Hey Hollywood...here's the real life angel! April 5, 2008

After my brother-in-law & family visited the CAS and became a vegetarian, truly a jaw-dropping feat, I knew this place must be pretty special. Then, they gave me a copy of this book for my birthday and I became a vegetarian!! I've laughed out loud and cried - make that 'sobbed' so hard. I've read (the happy) parts to my children at bedtime. This book so powerfully fills you with emotion that I can pretty much guarantee you too will be inspired to do something ...something life-changing, be it for yourself or some other inhabitant of this earth. It is a wake-up call for your soul! Thank you Kathy and your amazing volunteers for being real life angels.

If I could rate this book higher than five stars, I would. At Catskill Animal Sanctuary, the animals are loved "til death do us part." This book will change your view of the "ordinary" farm animal. It will compel you to think before you eat. It will make you want to support the work of the Sanctuary. And, it will entertain you with heartwarming stories of love and healing that you wouldn't have believed possible. Buy it, read it, recommend it to everyone you know. This book should be on the bestseller list.

What a wondeful book entertaining and enlightening to read. I heard the author on NPR then went out and bought this book. From the time I started to read it I couldn't put it down. I've been around horses most of my adult life and have gained a new appreciation for not only horses but all animals. So many misconceptions about them established growing up. Kathy Stevens is a true Rain Maker and should be congradulated for her fine work. Buy this book you won't be disappointed.
