Unbridled Faith: 100 Devotions from the Horse Farm $11.50
Explore the timeless wisdom of God’s Word through this beautiful horse devotional. Horses nuzzle their way into our hearts and have a way of teaching us a lot about ourselves, about life, and even about God. Just ask horse enthusiast Cara Whitney, wife of comedian and actor Dan Whitney (aka Larry the Cable Guy).
Through years spent working with these majestic animals, Cara Whitney has learned countless spiritual lessons that have brought her closer to God. She shares those stories in Unbridled Faith.
In 100 heartfelt devotions with stunning photography, you’ll:
- Learn about being flexible in your faith from a gangly legged colt.
- Discover the secret to overcoming temptation through a horse’s “sneak and eat” game.
- From a pony with a sweet tooth, find out why we should be glad God doesn’t answer yes to all of our prayers.
- Be reminded that you are priceless to God by a one-eyed quarter horse named Roanie.
This devotional is perfect for anyone who adores horses and the simple farm life.

Owner/Publisher Karen’s lifelong love of horses began at a very early age when she wore out a couple of rocking horses before convincing her parents to get her the real thing. That ill-tempered bay gelding, Brandy, was a challenge for the young horsewoman, but it drove her ambition to become a horse trainer. After attending Canyonview Equestrian College’s Horsemanship Program, Karen realized she needed work that was a little more lucrative than training, so she took a job with Customs Brokerage to pay the bills. There, she discovered an affinity for computers and a talent for creating informative, entertaining newsletters. The Northwest Horse Source began as such a letter in December 1995, with a distribution of 1000 copies for its 12 black and white pages. Now 29 years later, it’s an online magazine and website with a reach of over 10,000 per month and growing! Not bad for the results of one woman’s dream to work with horses!
Today, Karen remains involved with every aspect of the magazine and treasures the community of thousands who share a common passion.
