A Tear-Jerker from my past...

I read this book back in my younger horse-obsessed days. A warning..this book ranks right up there for book most likely to scar your horse-crazy child. I remember sobbing uncontrollably to my mother after finishing the book. Well written, but make sure your child is able to handle a book that doesn't exactly have a rose-colored glasses ending.

Sad but good, hated the ending!!

The book was good, as it gave factual information on horses, and the readers actually LEARNED something! I didn't like the ending, where she had to let go of the horse, but I hope they make a sequel where she finds the horse again! :
