Wonderful

Pounding Hooves is a wonderful story about a young girl who truly finds herself. This book taught me that we have to forgive and forget also we have to trust God with our deepest longings.

A Must Read!!

Absolutely wonderful! A great story about a girl, Lori, who loves horses but her mother is against them, especially oweing to the fact that her last pony broke her dad's arm. Lori is in love with a neighbor boy from school, and this boy acquires a beautiful Palomino Arabian mare named Storm, who hates and fears humans, due to abuse. The whole story details Lori's struggle with falling in love with Storm, trying to raise money to buy her, and the rich girl at school who wants both Storm and the boy Lori loves. MUST READ!!

A great book with a great message for kids

I read this book when I was 12 years old. It was and has always been my favorite horse story. I would definitely rate it better than The Black Stallion or Black Beauty. I think the story is realistic and leaves you with a strong message to think about.

This is a fun book to read and take to heart

When I first finished this book, I sat back and tried to digest the message that the book gave. It was deep and strong: love. Not the kind of love between a man and a woman, the love that occurs between friends. I thought that this book was very special, and I will always have a place for it on my shelf.
