Reread this as a nostalgic childhood fav. It’s a fun story thats written for a young audience — as an adult, it’s extremely elementary even for middle grade, animals are way too personified for my taste, and plot is really underdeveloped/rushed throughout. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

PERFECT PERFECT PERFECT THATS ALL I CAN SAY ABOUT IT

Written for younger readers, quite elementary in some parts. I thoroughly enjoyed reading the story of the first blue eyed paint horse though. My horse, his ancestor, RAINA carries his spirit.
