For the classroom
Emma Dean is a horse who was rescued at Lake Powell years ago by the National Park Service and Best Friends Animal Society. She now lives in Blanding, Utah, after Rebecca Stoneman adopted her. Emma Dean shares a pasture with another horse named Lichee. An adoption means the horse has a permanent home, not a temporary stall at a rescue. The story is the years between the lake rescue and this pasture, and the person who took her in.
