Hendrix the Rocking Horse cover

An ordinary horse's life takes a thrilling turn in Hendrix the Rocking Horse as he discovers music and dreams of becoming a rock star.

In Hendrix the Rocking Horse, we meet an unremarkable horse leading a rather mundane life. However, everything changes when a rock band named The Tumbling Pebbles arrives in his sleepy village. As the vibrant music echoes through the hills, Hendrix discovers a hidden talent for music that transforms his ordinary existence into something extraordinary. One fateful day, a guitar flies out of the band's van, and Hendrix seizes the opportunity to embrace his newfound passion.

With the spirit of a true rock star, Hendrix decides to host his very own concert. He adorns himself in a pair of pants tied around his head and socks wrapped around his wrists, transforming into Hendrix the Rocking Horse. This whimsical tale captures the imagination of children, showcasing how a simple horse can become a musical sensation. The story is filled with humor and creativity, encouraging young readers to explore their own talents and passions.

As the second installment in the Fables from the Stables series, Hendrix the Rocking Horse continues to delight children aged 6 and above with its playful rhymes and charming illustrations. This enchanting story not only entertains but also inspires kids to embrace their individuality and pursue their dreams, no matter how outlandish they may seem.
