Sing and Alex
This is a DELIGHTFUL children's book that has been written and offered to The Exceller Fund to
help raise funds needed for the adoption and retirement of Thoroughbreds. This is an ADORABLE
book about a little racehorse and a little boy who loves him. "Sing So Long" is a racehorse who
has never won a race. He moves from barn to barn until he ends up at the barn where Alex's father
works. Alex is a little boy who loves Sing and believes in him. This charming story illustrates the
power of love and believing in one's self, and is a wonderful book for young readers and the young
at heart.
"Sing and Alex is one of the best children's books I have read in years! The story of a horse
who just needs someone to believe in him, and the tale of the boy who loves him will touch all
who read it. The illustrations are darling, and add immeasurably to the story of hope, love, and
redemption. I highly recommend this book for all who love horses and for those people looking for
a way to make dreams come true." - Hallie McEvoy, author of Genuine Risk, Showing for
Beginners, and Horse Show Judging for Beginners.
