I love reading horse stories so I can relive my childhood joy of horseback riding, which is why I picked up On the Edge by Jenny Pitman. Too bad for me there were hardly any descriptions of horseback riding. It was mostly a lame romance story, focusing more on the people in the barn than the horses. The writing wasn't that noteworthy either. I always mark pages with good quotes with a sticky note, and by the time I finished there wasn't even one in this book.
One thing I liked is that it was show more published in the UK, so some of the horse terminology was different. For example, the author called a "halter" a "head collar." HA!
It wasn't the worst book ever but I suggest you keep on riding and leave this one in the dust. show less
