At first, when one of my friends, Kate gave this to me for my birthday, I was a little hesitant to read it. I love horses and horse back riding, and my favorite series is about horses! So why, I now wonder, was I reluctant? Well the story is about a girl who’s family owns horses, and everyday she has to ride them and take care of them. So they don’t get attached, the girl’s father names all the gelding’s George, and all the mare’s Jewel. He says that way they can celebrate when they sell the horse. Most of the time the family and their horses are Western styled riding, and I ride English, so it was a little confusing to me at times. But I’m glad I read it! Now it’s on my shelf for favorite horse books. :)
