This is another great book by Lauren Brooke. Amy has to help a jet black horse named Gallant Prince. He got caught in a stable fire and is now afraid of EVERYTHING. But Amy also has to confront his owner who got badly burned in the fire.She must help him face his fears and take him out of his dark room that he stays in 24-7. Amy has to lead them BOTH out of the darkness before it's to late! Happy Reading!

I liked this book but it was not one of the best ones. Amy Flaming runs a farm called heartland she heals the scars of emotionally injured horses. But when Prince Gallant comes to heartland Amy simply can't pull him out of his darkness. The stallion fears everyone and everything. But when amy finds out that prince's old stable hand Ryan is going thourgh the same pain she knows that he is the only one who can reach Prince. For horse lovers everywhere Out of the darkness is an emotional exciting book that display the relationship of a human and horse working together even in times where everything seems losted.

My daughter, a thirteen year old equestrian and voracious reader whose tastes run the gamut from Judy Bloom to Tolkien and all points in between, has devoured the entire Heartland series this past month. This excellent series contains suprisingly tight and descriptive prose conveying clear action packed narratives which possess good morals and interesting characters.

Imaginative and age appropriate, Lauren Brooke's series supplies great entertainment for any active middle school reader. While they are certainly written directly for a female middle school audience, this late thirty something year old dad, whose literary tastes favor histories and biographies, has found this particular series quite entertaining in a pleasantly guilt free manner.

Healing horses, healing hearts takes place in Heartland which is a farm where caring people and important people who know what they are doing take a challenge at Heartland farm. Some of the challenges that happen at Heartland farm are trying to get horses to trust you before any up close contacts. Boarding horses, caring for horses and knowing each and every horse is important because each horse is different in their reactions and thoughts that a horse might have from another.
Lauren Brooke, the author of the Heartland series books makes you feel in the seventh book (Out of the Darkness) like you flew into Heartland and never flew out because, the author of Heartland wrote the book that when you pick up one of her books, you wouldn't want to put it down again until you know that the adventure and problem is solved.
At Heartland, Luke Norton, the owner of a horse named Gallant Prince who had won the Maryland Breeder's Cup at Pimico and including a lot of other awards. The reason why Gallant Prince was at Heartland was because he had been in an appalling fire at night with scars cuts and bruises afterwards. And Prince (a nickname for Gallant Prince) also freaks out when night falls and when people like Amy or Ty (one of the helpers that help out with the horses at Heartland) try to go near him. But Amy can't face the fact that's he might not be able to lead Gallant Prince out of the darkness. Of all the hard work and time put in for Prince of making his trust to Amy and trusting other people, do you think Amy would think it's a waste of time and just renounce?
Between one -five stars for this book, I would give Heartland, Out of the Darkness 4 stars because Lauren Brooke wrote this book that would make you read Heartland over and over again. I would say children 10 years of age and older can read this book that has 153 pages in it and does show that Heartland is a place for healing horses and healing hearts.

A new racehorse called Gallant Prince comes to Heartland to be cured of the emotional trauma he went through. Prince used to be a famous champion racehorse but then there was a fire at the stables where he is kept, and it deeply affects his mind because now he won't let anyone near him, he doesn't trust anyone (or anything), and he basically acts like a vicious, wild horse. Amy agrees to take Prince in and tries to help the stallion face his fears but she feels like she isn't getting anywhere, the wounds the horse has are too deep for her to reach. She is seriously ready to give up because her grandfather is concerned for her safety and wants to send Prince back to his own stable, but Amy doesn't want Heartland receiving bad publicity. She finally locates Prince's old groom, Ryan Bailey, who was badly burned in the stables where Prince was kept and was blamed for starting the fire. Amy finds out that Prince and Ryan had a special bond and she is determined to bring them together again so they can help heal each other. But Ryan has been badly traumatized too and he refuses to even leave the darkness of his room. Amy knows Ryan and Prince need each other, but the problem is how to convince Ryan? Besides Prince, Amy has to face the fact Daybreak is ready to leave Heartland and be rehomed but she can't bear to let go of the filly so soon. Ty keeps telling her she's ready to go and move on, but hes really referring to the kiss he gave her on Christmas Eve. Things are sorta weird between Ty and Amy but nothing much happens... All in all, the book was a little too dramatic but add it to your heartland collection anyway if you're a fan of heartland

Prince is now scared of everything ever since a disater takes place. Can Amy get the stallion out of his darkness???

Heartland, has entertained me from the beginning but, this one really didn't. Amy is given a new horse, Gallent Prince, but when she can't cure him from the fires of a stable, that he has been emotionally harmed by, she doubts if she can handle it. But when she learns about his old owner, Ryan, she realizes he's the only one that can help Prince heal. But when Ryan is too depressed to come, Amy has desperate fear for Prince. Read to find out what Amy will do for Prince and Ryan! You will probably like it if you liked the rest of the series! Remember, anything can happen at Heartland.

I just love this book! It is my favorite in the series. I just enjoyed how she helped both the horse and the trainer out of their tragic past.To see what is in store for them if they just let go! I enjoyed it so much I read it in one day!
