Hap: The Prize Winning Horse Kindle Edition

by Horace Crenshaw Jr. (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.2 out of 5 stars (10)
There was once a horse named, Hap. He was purchased along with several other horses by Bennett Wingate and he grew up on a farm in Kemper County, Mississippi. When Hap was young, he had aspirations of being
great and becoming a great race horse. However, his owners, the Windgates, did not have much money to put him in the best races nor train him to compete for the big prize (s). These setbacks did not stop Hap from dreaming. He knew that if he kept the faith and maintained his determination that one day his dreams would be accomplished. This is a story of triumph over many obstacles and tragedies. But, the central theme throughout the story is that if you maintain a positive attitude, determination, hope, and perseverance you can dream big and those dreams can become a reality.

Review

Hap, the Prize Winning Horse is such a positive, charming tale of triumphing over obstacles. There is so much heart and dedication in this novella, and I feel invested in Hap's journey and Kemper County. You have created a story that is heart-warming and inspiring. I am sure many people would appreciate it. I also like that you let us see what Hap is thinking and feeling at times. - Lauren Haynes, Galaxy Galloper PressBeautifully written, light-hearted read... Set against a fascinating background, Crenshaw brings out mystique of horses and rustic simplicity of Mississippi life in his debut novella. After a tragic incident, Hap, the young horse, starts his training as a racehorse. It's easy to race in country fairs and win, but competing in a professional tournament is entirely another thing. It's up to Hap now to make his lifelong dream come true. Crenshaw explores a number of themes other than horse training: the redeeming power of resilience, positive attitude, determination and hard work and keeping faith in the face of difficulties. The scenes of horse training are at once genuinely fresh and informative. Crenshaw's prose is simple, and his vivid descriptions of Kemper County in Mississippi are realistic, but it is the realization of one's dream in the face of obstacles that stays at the heart of this lovely novella. - Prairie Book Review

    This is a marvelous young adult (or adult for that matter) story on perseverance and determination, and the star is a horse! Never give up, and never give in. The author makes you feel as if you are there. Very nice novella for these trying times.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A Tale of Perseverance and Hope
    Reviewed in the United States on October 6, 2023
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    I recently had the pleasure of reading "Hap's Triumph," and I must say it left a lasting impression on me. This heartwarming story of a young horse named Hap, raised on a modest farm in Kemper County, Mississippi, is a tale of determination and unwavering hope.
    The central theme of maintaining a positive attitude, determination, and perseverance shines through the pages and serves as a powerful reminder of the human (or equine) spirit's resilience.
    The characters are well-developed, and Hap's journey is filled with emotional highs and lows that keep you turning the pages.
    I highly recommend to anyone seeking a heartwarming and motivational read. It's a story that lingers in your heart long after you've finished the last page, leaving you inspired to pursue your dreams with unwavering determination.
