"an excellent horse story with enough of a plot surrounding the lead character's personal problems as to be enjoyed by adults and teens alike. always enjoy stories about english riding and jumping, and this one covers all the bases! also details returning an abused horse to health, which always makes a good story and a feel good read. highly recommended!"
