The Lost Legend of the First Christmas is BOOK ONE of the Lost Legend Trilogy, a series that explores the origins of the powerful and important bond between horses and humans. BOOK ONE From the Prologue: "From the days of long ago, a story of immense consequence has been handed down, generation to generation. It is the account of a boy of great courage and two horses of great heart who, together, encountered the Christ Child and through Him, took part in the greatest story ever told . . ." Thus begins an adventure story that tells how the horse became humankind's treasured partner in the development of the world and reveals the truth that: "Largely thanks to the horse, territories were discovered, explored, and civilized. Lands were cultivated; and wars were won."

This is the continuation of the Legend that tells how the horse became partner to humankind. Book Two begins immediately following the birth of Christ and continues during the first decade of His life. As the story opens, Michael, the young horseman readers came to know and love in Book One, is searching for his father, traveling with the three Wise Men who attended the birth of Christ. Not far into that journey, an angel visits Michael and tells him that he has been chosen to escort the Holy Family out of harm's way. "You must take Mary and Joseph and Jesus to Egypt," the angel says. "You will remain as their protector until it is safe for them to return to their homeland." Michael obeys and lives for the next decade with this Family . . . three individuals who remain, to this day, at the heart of the world's foremost mystery. 
Have you ever wondered what Jesus might have been like as a boy? Did He romp and play with other children? Did He cry when He got hurt and laugh when His father playfully tossed Him in the air? Did He know, even as a youngster, the special mission that was His and His alone? 
In the continuation of this Legend that has been handed down from generation to generation, you'll meet the Boy, Jesus, and the extraordinary stallion, Zabbai. You'll learn that with Jesus and Zabbai, the first true partnership of horse and human was born. 
Jesus and Zabbai shared the first years of their lives together in perfect love and understanding. And thus, say the keepers of the Legend, a new affinity between horse and human had its genesis. 
Join us now, won't you, as we embark upon another adventure with that all might hope.

In Dawn Across the Mountains, Book Three of the Lost Legend Trilogy, there is reunion and there is Resurrection-and there are beautiful truths about the abiding love that exists between horses and humans. Through the horse, God gave to mankind a very special form of liberty, a bequest that altered not only the face of the earth, but also the heart and spirit of its human inhabitants. Still, for some reason, the Age of the Horse, and the miraculous changes brought about during this season in time, are most often overlooked. Largely thanks to humankind's partnership with the horse, territories were discovered, explored and civilized. Lands were cultivated and wars were won. In truth, the impact of this gallant creature on world progress is far more monumental than the changes brought about by any of the more heralded historic periods such as the Bronze Age, the Iron Age, and the Industrial Age. The Lost Legend Trilogy aims to correct this injustice by revealing the origin of the mystical bond between horses and humans-and by reminding the world at large that without the horse, civilization as we know it today would quite simply not exist.
