Kirstie lives at Half-Moon Ranch, where her mother runs a pony trekking centre. She has her own palomino pony. Storms, floods and earth tremors are all facts of life in this wild terrain, and at times the landscape itself proves the enemy to the horses and riders. A mystery horse has appeared on Eagle's Peak.
Jenny Oldfield was born in 1949 and brought up in Harrogate, Yorkshire, and studied English at Birmingham University.
She has written a large number of books for both children and adults, including the Home Farm Twins, Animal Alert, and Half Moon Ranch series. A horse enthusiast, many of her novels feature horses and are popular among young horse fans.
Again, I won’t go into too much information with this book. The Horses of Half Moon Ranch is a series of books set on a dude ranch in the Rocky Mountains. In Navaho Joe Kirsty sees a mysterious horse in the mountains and as the winter months sets in, fears that it will be unable to survive the snow. The whole series is a good read for young readers who like horses.
