Best horse book ever

This book made want to cry especially when trica dad dies after she wins the triple crown it is a heart filled story for all ages i recommanded this book to anyone and every one

Good but...

Liked it, thought it was good... but her dad DIED for pitie's sake. That's more like real life but after reading the other four books where her dad and she are fighting and fighting, the end of this book left me somewhat defeated. THe story was good. I like the characters, LOVE the horse. Still, winning the Triple Crown and losing your dad on the same day would be very tough. You wouldn't be able to celebrate without feeling kind of guilty. It made me want to cry.

The end made me cry

This book was great! I loved tackling all of the problems along with the characters. Spitfire and Trish kept it together through thick and thin. These books show how everything is possible through God. As she constantly reminds herself, "I can do all things through the lord, who strenghens me." The ending made me cry along with Trish. I could feel the pain that she felt and the glory at the same time. This book truly shines in the winners circle.

A very emotional book also has tear jerking end.

I loved the whole book if you have read the other books in this series you will be devastated as Trish's lif turns upside down. A must read!!!!
