Great! Fun horsey info!

Took me half a year to finish this book 😂 I definitely am not as horse crazy as I was when I started this book. This was just a good book to read when I started to learn how to ride horses last year. Nothing serious. 😃

It says it’s for girls, and packed with loads of information I can’t even remember all of it. But it’s a great resource for all horse fanatics out there.

Jam packed with fun horse info. Books to read, movies to watch, and games to play. Even if I haven't been a girl in years. :-)

I LOVE this book!!! I am SOOO horse crazy and a lot of things in the book, I knew but this is my go-to if I need more horse facts!! It is so good and has many things that all horse crazy girls should know! The only thing that would make it better is if it were Christian, but that's ok. It is still an awesome book!

Good book for girls, i just wish it was a bit more realistic. If i remember correctly, there were some things that aren't actually true.

Started reading it ironically, actually a really informative book about horses that I fully recommend to someone who wants to learn horse facts!!!

This is a nice, short book. I remember horse obsessed me reading this over and over in 5th grade. Actually, this might have been my favorite book at the time. I liked the little horse pictures, and I especially was interested in ways on how to get free riding lessons 😂 (which, as you might be thinking, did not work). While this book is definitely not my reading level now, it's fun to look back on it. The illustrations are cute and it offers helpful tips, horse care, games, and crafts. However, I do remember that I was not especially interested in the crafts (unless they were about Breyer models), because it's clear that some are meant for very young children, the kind that you make but never look at again. My other problem was that some words were in pink, and it sometimes had an overly girly design, which sometimes irritated me. I'd recommend this for ages 7-10, since it might be too easy or childish to read for older ages.
