Stormy

Breyer Stablemates

by J. Elizabeth Mills, Jacqueline Rogers (Illustrator)

Hannah and Becky are show jumping rivals, although Becky's Appaloosa, Stormy, is not as good at it as Hannah's horse, until one day an injury means Hannah cannot ride, and she begins to take an interest in Becky's efforts to train Stormy.

✨definitely loved this one!

[Linda Branich · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is another Breyer Stablemates book that is sure to thrill little horse lovers.

Hannah owns an American paint named Csaey say,together they have won many ribbons at competition. Becky owns Stormy, an Appaloosa and has won only a few ribbons. Hannah is quite snobbish and makes fun of Becky and Stormy, as Stormy balks at some of the jumps where they practice at Shady Glen Stables.

Becky determines that she will beat Hannah at the next competition. When Hannah takes a spill and ends up with her foot in a cast a month before the competition, it seems that Becky 's competition is out of the picture.

I will not spoil the story, but little girls who love horses will delight in this book and the many illustrations enhancing the story. They will also learn about patience, encouragement, kindness, dedication to the task at hand, and cooperation.

I read this book when I was a little girl around the age of 8 and I have another one like it and I enjoyed it a lot

I like how there is a pair of friends in this book along with the horses. It makes me very cheerful.

I love this book because it is a girl who has a horse and his name is stormy and this other girl wins all the meals and one day that girl fell and now she can't win you will have to read the rest.
