Rent The Hearts of Horses

Synopsis

In the winter of 1917, nineteen-year-old Martha Lessen saddles her
horses and heads for a remote county in eastern Oregon, looking for
work 'gentling' wild horses. She chances on a rancher, George Bliss,
who is willing to hire her on. Many of his regular hands are off fighting
the war, and he glimpses, beneath her showy rodeo garb, a shy but
strong-willed girl with a serious knowledge of horses.

So begins the irresistible tale of a young but determined woman
trying to make a go of it in a man's world. Over the course of several
long, hard winter months, many of the townsfolk witness Martha talking
in low, sweet tones to horses believed beyond repair -- and getting
miraculous, almost immediate results. Ultimately, her gifts will earn her
a place of respect in the community.With an elegant sweetness like that
found in Plainsong, and a winning energy as in Water for Elephants,
The Hearts of Horses delivers a heartwarming, greatly satisfying story
about the unexpected and profound connections between people and
animals.
