Horse Lovers Central discussion

Sign up to the challenge where it is shown at the top of the discussions on the Group Home Page.
If you don't see the latest active challenge click the link Challenges.
You will be asked which shelf the books to read are on. If you say horse and you do not have a horse bookshelf, Goodreads will put one in to your personal list of shelves.
When you complete a read you have placed on that shelf Goodreads sees the progress.

Now the challenge registers that you have read some of the books.

You might decide to name it challenge shelf so it would be used for challenges in any other Group too.
Tell us your titles in this thread.

This season we are reading a children's book or five. The number is up to you.
I think this will be useful for planning Christmas presents, or for those who find books coming in to the house at Christmas, or who gain book tokens or Amazon credit vouchers for Christmas. Other holidays and birthdays are probably good sources of young people's books too!

I have a few YA reads stacked up here and books for younger people tend to be shorter, so I should be okay to aim for five. I just scraped in with five last season.

I've had a query as to what counts as a children's book.
If you want to read a book written for young children, or older kids, or for young teens, any of those will do.
If you want to re-read Black Beauty or Fury, Smoky or Blitz, those are good too. They were written for a general audience but are especially good for younger readers.
Some suggestions!

I have just finished reading Emma and Freckles.

For the challenge I’m going to read the Black Stallion series!

Oh wow, I love some of those so much. You may not fit them all in before the end of the challenge - or maybe you're a fast reader!

I know you will all love "Percy-the Racehorse Who didn't Like to Run." It is a picture book for ages 3 to 7.

For a middle grade (and up!) book, try: "PINTO! Based Upon the True Story of the Longest Horseback Ride in History." If you loved Black Beauty you will love Pinto. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...

Just some suggestions ;)

Thanks Ann, I am sure you are allowed to read your own books for the challenge.

These look good!

One of the books by Helen Haraldsen doing well in the Amazon UK charts at present.

These are also doing well in the Amazon UK charts. Great stories.

I have read Freckles and a couple of the Pony Pals books. Doing well on the challenge and I just need one more book to hit my target.

I read another Pony Pals book today while waiting for the computer to download and install a program, so that gets me past the target.
Yay! The best part is, I still have another few of those books here to read.

Just finished this one, it's a sad tale mostly but ends on a good note.

Good-Bye Pony


How is anyone else doing on their challenge target?

And I read

yesterday.
