Customer Reviews

A beautifully illustrated, fun story of heroes.

A beautifully illustrated book of an inspirational horse. For the horse and history lover children, this is a great addition to your library. My boys from 14 to 5 loved the book. It went into my 14 year olds historical horse book collection, along with War Horse, Joey, and Man O War. He was a little disappointed it was not a longer story, but he enjoyed the art so it made up for it. Next time I will pay more attention to the age group recommendation.
