Description du livre Paperback. Etat : New. 9.20 X 6.12 X 0.49 inches; xii, 159 pages; Soft cover has a black spine with white lettering. Michigan characters come in all shapes and species, including the talented and charming Clifford. Clifford is quite accomplished. He s an abstract painter, a dancer and the subject of a published biography, and goes on statewide tours to spread the message of empathy. He also has four hooves and a tail. Clifford , also known as "Clifford of Drummond Island, " is the Morgan horse owned, trained and cherished by Nancy J. Bailey, who also penned his biography of the same name. Clifford was a replacement for what she called the "perfect horse, " Sharolyn, who died of a horse disease eight weeks after she acquired her. Soon afterward Bailey met a 2-year-old colt named Buckets who wasn t exactly what she was looking for: He was a "mouthy chestnut colt. " However, Bailey wanted a horse, and maybe it was better to get something different from the mare she mourned. Eventually Bailey gave Buckets the name Clifford after her great uncle, who had been a redhead, too, and whose descendants populating Drummond Island also were redheads. Thus began Bailey s introduction into life with Clifford, also a relative neophyte to the human-horse experience. "I was new to horses, " she said, "and he was new to the world. "Clifford provided plenty of comic relief. Bailey s dad and uncle once were working on a gazebo, digging postholes and other tasks. Clifford, according to Bailey, found the whole construction process fascinating. If he found a stray board lying anywhere, he d pick up the board and move it. Another time, her dad and uncle were on hands and knees, looking down into a posthole, when Clifford joined in by lowering his head and checking out the posthole as well. A terrific true-life story of a special horse and the special woman who has helped him express himself. N° de réf. du vendeur 8293
