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

ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS EVER!

I really love this book. It combines the real facts of horses while reminding u that this story is about a 15-year-old girl who goes through the same stuff that other people do. Her relationship with the horses is strong but that's not the only thing. It hinted in the 1st book that Ty (who is a totally perfect!) liked Amy. Finally he kisses her (in the 6th book) and reveals that he loves her and Amy finds out she loves him to. I really wanted something to happen between them, and I won't spoil the rest. It is a great book that really helps u learn about horses. The main focus of the book is about a race horse who is named Gallant Prince who was injured in a stable fire. Amy talks to Prince's former stable hand and realizes that he might be the key to helping Prince. But Ryan, the stable hand has his own problems as he was also injured in the fire and is not exactly up on the idea of seeing Prince again. I won't tell you anything more, you'll just have to read the book yourself! IT'S AN AWESOME BOOK AND YOU SHOULD READ IT ASAP!

Bravo!

As always, Lauren Brooke finds a way to reach the true nub of what all horse lovers want to read. Amy's strategies in facing all her problems may inspire readers everywhere to find a better understanding of life. Horse lovers can relate to her predicaments at Heartland. Teenagers that read this book, including me, always enjoy the parts when Amy and Ty seem to realize that they might begin a relationship. In this particular book, Amy reunites a horse and man that were emotionally impaired after a previous tragedy. Amy held the job of renewing the horse's confidence with humans, but there was no way to get through to him. The only way was to get someone who the horse could relate to...and that was Ryan. Ryan is stubborn and does not want to remember the past. How can Amy stand the pressure of a promise she made to fix this famous horse among all the news reporters and media? Will Amy ever be able to reach out to Ryan? What will become of her and Ty? Only the mechanical energy of your hand turning the pages of this wonderful book may tell...let the eyes roam to the unknown....for the unknown is what you seek.

Heartland 7: Out of the Darkness

Amy has a lot on her plate: a new horse has been sent to Heartland and he's a famous racehorse, Gallant Prince. He's terribly damaged emotionally. To make things worse, his fame thrusts Heartland into the spotlight. It's time for Melody and Daybreak to find a home, but Amy doesn't want to give up the little filly just yet. Then, on top of that, there's Ty. They kissed at Christmas, but what did that mean? She tries to avoid conversations with him, but she can't wait forever. This was an excellent Heartland book! It manages to juggle a variety of story lines while still in the usual Heartland quality. Amy's trying to push back a lot of her emotions, so it will be interesting to see what happens, and to Prince, whose story remains only just beginning. Don't pass this one up--even if it doesn't tie everything together, it is a great stepping stone to the next book!

Great!

I think the book was great! Amy is trying to help a race horse named Gallant Prince who was caught in a fire. Ever since the fire, nobody has been able to get near Prince so they send him to Heartland. After lots of working with Prince and having no success, Amy decides to contact the old stable Hand that used to work at the Stable where Prince lives. He and Prince had a very speacial bond with each other and Amy Thinks he will be able to help. Well, I wont say anything more because I mite give away what happens at the end. By the way, for all the people who were expecting this book to be alot about Amy and Ty's relationship, well, the book was more about the horses than Ty.
