In the first book of the Horse Gone Silent trilogy, you will follow the life of champion show jumping horse "Calebo" from his sweet youth in the Netherlands to the United States where he quickly makes it to the top of his sport. Multiple times throughout his life, unbelievable events occur where this kind, courageous horse faces unfathomable depths of despair as he gets bounced from different owners.

Will this kind, young horse be able to make it in a tumultuous, scary world he has no control over?

Never sure of his ultimate fate, Calebo relies on his faith, family, and friends to give him strength on his remarkable journey. This heart-warming horse story is told in beautiful detail by American horseman, Shane Ledyard.
