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.

A page-turning novel that is also an exploration of the great philosophical concepts of Western thought, Jostein Gaarder's Sophie's World has fired the imagination of readers all over the world, with more than twenty million copies in print. One day fourteen-year-old Sophie Amundsen comes home from school to find in her mailbox two notes, with one question on each: "Who are you?" and "Where does the world come from?" From that irresistible beginning, Sophie becomes obsessed with questions that take her far beyond what she knows of her Norwegian village. Through those letters, she enrolls in a kind of correspondence course, covering Socrates to Sartre, with a mysterious philosopher, while receiving letters addressed to another girl. Who is Hilde? And why does her mail keep turning up? To unravel this riddle, Sophie must use the philosophy she is learning—but the truth turns out to be far more complicated than she could have imagined.
