Early Reviews

“Great book for horse crazy kids and their parents. As a former horse crazy kid that never outgrew a love of horses I found several interesting facts and suggestions. Also a very attractive book- after reading a section I keep flipping pages to see pictures and read highlighted sections.” 

“This book is perfect for kids in late elementary and middle school with an interest in horses! It is very informative and the appropriate reading level for this age group. Parents will enjoy reading it too, being able to get a glimpse into their child’s hobby. This would make a great birthday or holiday gift for the kiddos in your life!”

“I love this book! I’m recommending it to my barn for their Pony Club program resources.”
