Great horse story

(...)This is one of my favorite horse books of all time. It's about a very overweight girl named Panky that has a socially-minded mother and a demanding father. Over the course of the book Panky makes a new attitude for herself through riding at her friend Katie's stable. In the end, riding brings her and her family closer together and she learns how to stay in shape the fun way: through "eating right" and riding horses!I like this book because I found it to be very well-written and fast-paced. The author seems to know a good deal about how special horses can be in a person's life and makes a fantasic story about it. Highly recommended.
