My ears always prick up if the title of a book has the word horse in it, as it happens it is not a horsey type book at all, however I did enjoy this book and like others can picture the scenes in my head. Although it jumps backwards and forwards thorough time, the story is easy to follow although I also felt there were some loose ends at the end that were not tied up.
