Handsome
The Horse Next Door
Corey and Handsome
Corey bonds with a beautiful but lame Arabian horse she names Handsome. He not only helps alleviate her loneliness, but is able to encourage the autistic brother of Corey's school friend to speak.
New Challenges
When Corey's parents separate, her father moves her to a small house on the outskirts of Tucson, Arizona where she must attend a new school for the last weeks of eighth grade. Corey finds making friends difficult.
The Backyard and the Old Man
However, there is a small pasture behind the fence in her new backyard. There she could keep Handsome if she could persuade the old man who owns the pasture to let her use it.
Reunion and Obstacles
Her parents reunite, and just when it seems Handsome will become the birthday present Corey longs for, another obstacle appears. Handsome damages himself further when he balks at climbing into a horse trailer.
Hope and Happiness
Only Corey's determination makes a happy ending possible.
