Not a bad read, although it was hardly the 'epic horse story' that the cover claimed. Sure, she rode horses, and was down at the stables a lot, and obsessed over the new horse, but it was more about the smugglers and wreckers than it was about the horses. Interesting enough a read, though not among the best (not among the worst, either, for that matter!) I've ever read. It had the potential for far more than it delivered. Though I suppose thats chronic with 'young adult' books. The main character was only 15, so I suppose, believably there's only so much that can happen to the story. But, had it been taken from an older character's perspective, the tale could have gone a lot deeper, and a lot longer. Over all, a nice simple read. ( )
