_________________________________________________________________ Riding Lessons by Sara Gruen "This book grabs you on page one and holds you as you experience every emotion on through the last page. Annemarie is living her destiny. Then she is shattered and Harry, her equine soulmate, is lost. She denies her life's work for twenty years, but destiny has a way of sneaking back up on you. This is Ms. Gruen's first novel. I sincerely hope there are more!" - Paula Harrington, Personal Ponies Advocate, PPL-AR (personalponies.org) _________________________________________________________________ Classic Horse Stories edited by Steven Price "There were several horse stories in this collection that I hadn't run across before and a few old regulars. These fourteen tales are fairly interesting teen horse fiction, although it was easy to put the book down to attend to other interests." Paula Harrington, Personal Ponies Advocate (personalponies.org) _________________________________________________________________ Outfoxed by Rita Mae Brown "Now, this was a very good book. It was a joy to read the "conversations" of all the animals and to believe for a time that they actually DO interact with one another and the humans they accommodate. It was also very informative regarding fox hunting. I give this one a hardy "Thank You!" for a good bit of easy entertainment with a surprise ending as to who the murderer turned out to be!"

Incredible Horse Tales Edited with an introduction by Jessie Shiers "For me, this was just a mediocre read. Some of the short stories I had read before, some many times before. There is a "horse tale" for everyone within the cover of this book. It is a good collection of tales for an easy one-day, or rainy day, entertainment." Paula Harrington, Personal Ponies, Ltd.-AR (personalponies.org) Teen horse fiction reviews continue. ________________________________________________________________ Spirit Horse by Ned Ackerman When a Siksika boy living on the Plains during the 1770s becomes separated from a raiding party, he discovers the legendary spirit horse which he attempts to track down and tame. _________________________________________________________________ My Friend Flicka by Mary O'Hara Through his intense devotion to the colt Flicka, a young boy, living on a Wyoming ranch, begins to learn about responsibility and gain a better understanding of his brusque father. ***A classic Sharon AR _________________________________________________________________ Sweet William : a memoir of Old Horse by John Hawkes Sweet William, an old thoroughbred horse, recounts the trials and tribulations of his life, sharing the glory of his days as a race horse--and as a broken-down mount transformed by the kindness of a strange old man. _________________________________________________________________ Dun Lady's Jess by Doranna Durgin Finding a strange woman on their property, Dayna and Eric learn that she has been accidentally transformed from her original shape of a horse and desperately seeks her missing rider for fear that her human side will forget her purpose. _________________________________________________________________ Blind Beauty by K.M.
