If you know an adolescent girl, (or boy), who loves horses, this may be the perfect book. It certainly makes a wonderful gift. Thirteen-year-old Eve Shinerock has been raised around horses. Her Mom is a riding instructor and Eve has had her own horse, Lightning, half Arabian and half Connemara pony, since she was very small.

She tells about owning, caring for and riding her horse, competing in contests, and the wonderful bond that develops between girl and animal. Eve's life seems to be one that many kids dream of, until she and her family plan to move to a new house - and they can't take Lightning with them.The books is illustrated with more than 75 extraordinary black and white photographs, by award-winning photographer Jane Feldman, of Eve and Lightning.
