Ohh my gawd, most freaking weird book ever. This book, like, scarred me for life when I was a child. I thought it was realistic fiction and then at the end there was some weird-ass thing about a witch who turned children into animals or vice versa, I can't remember. And I was like O_O GAAHH WHAT IS THIS BOOK? …I don't know why I'm having all these flashbacks of random books I forgot about until now. It's kind of fun, though. ...more
Read this book as a kid/teen and remember the beautiful imagery of the ponies and also the just-creepy-enough subplot of fear and darkness. A good book to read during the day, or when you know your parents are in the house with you!
I found this book when I was small and honestly don't know how many times I read it. The book progresses nicely and is perfect for anyone seeking a little escapism.
This was my favorite book during my childhood. It was my fondest escape to go away with the mysterious horses.
This was one of my favorite books as a child and every time I re-read it, I understand why.
A girl is left by her Father to live with her Aunts & it changes her life.
This was a reread of an old favorite, a delightful, enchanting, magical story.
It was my favorite booke when I was 9. I am almost afraid to re-read it.
i love this story....
Beautiful story!
This was my absolute favorite book in third grade — I went to my elementary school library a few years ago and the tag in the book showed me checking it out about eight times in a row -- and upon rereading, I can see why. It has ponies, freedom from adults, creepiness, magic...all the right ingredients, and in just the right proportions.
Child me would have adored this sweet, magical book. I would have read it until the pages fell out, were taped back in, and fell out yet again.

I adored this book and read it over and over when I was 10. Then I outgrew horses as many adolescent girls do, but I was haunted by the imagery from this story. I'd confused the title by then and it took me YEARS to rediscover it. I was thrilled when I was able to buy a copy for my own library shelves.
Magic horses appearing in the night, esp. I recall that they were any colours, not just brown or black. There was a bracelet of the ponies hairs woven together.
Early Fantasy involving the Fae. Interesting! I wonder if theis is where I got my love of the Fae?!
One of my all-time faves!
