“Dante: Horses of the Maury River Stables” by Gigi Amateau is a heartfelt middle‑grade novel narrated from the perspective of Dante’s Inferno, a proud but anxious retired racehorse who, after failing on the track, finds himself rehabilitated in a prison program and then adopted by a riding school. As he bonds with fellow horses Daisy and Napoleon and forms a fragile trust with his rider, Ashley, Dante learns to overcome fear and embrace a new purpose as an eventing horse—an inspiring tale of second chances, friendship, and the transformative power of care and trust.
