Trigger warning for animal death. I wasn't the intended audience for this. I read this after reading part of a surprisingly stupid book about another animal death. This was more realistic, engaging and enjoyable than the other. It's a great book for horse people and probably people learning to ride. The audience is likely young children but it's educational to anyone. The conflicts and rivalries are believable. There's tons of exposition, weird jokes, stupid jokes, and plot contrivance. But this is one of the times I understood why it was all being done and approved. I'm glad I got ahold of this.… (more)

I'm reading this book with my daughter. It's pretty slow for a chapter book. My daughter like the way the community came together for a cause. Great message about solidarity.
