First off, let me say that I've yet to read anything by this author that was sub-par or that I didn't want to finish. Glenn Balch knew horses, wild animals, and the environment in which they lived, and it shows in his writing. Nothing is unbelievable, everything is realistic without being graphic or gory. Balch's works are suitable for all ages.

Like other books by this author, "The Flaxy Mare" is about Idaho, cowboys, and horses, including the subject of the story, a wild horse. Flaxy is born in the wild, offspring of a wild mare with obvious Thoroughbred ancestry. At an early age the filly is cared for by a young cowboy, but soon finds herself on her own in the wilderness.

I enjoyed this book, although it's not the best book I've read show more by this author. It's entertaining, and possibly will be reread in the future, but I am not rushing out to buy the book. Recommended, especially for horse lovers and Glenn Balch aficionados . show less
