Carole Fletcher's story opens on a November morning in 1975. She
began this day as a striking young teacher in a happy relationship;
a horse lover and car enthusiast -- ultimately, a young woman eager
for what lay ahead. But a gasoline explosion changed all that,
leaving her with second- and third-degree burns over sixty-five
percent of her body. At day's end, surgeons warned she had a
one-in-ten chance of surviving the night and that even if she did,
it would be more than likely she would never walk again -- let
alone ride a horse. Carole surprised everyone: her family, her
doctors, even herself. After seven months in the hospital and
twenty-eight skin graft surgeries, she began to ride her beloved
horse, Bailey. Thanks to the therapeutic nature of riding, she
slowly regained almost full use of her legs. And though more
surgery and almost four years of rehabilitation would follow,
Carole eventually plunged into the world of performance with a
clever trick horse named Dial. Carole Fletcher tells an inspiring
and eloquent story of recovery and rebirth. Healed by Horses offers
a compelling account of one woman's uncommon courage and
perseverance, and illustrates the extraordinary connection possible
between humans and horses, and how that bond can restore, motivate,
and heal.
