Surprisingly, I have read this book while overlooking Black Beauty, possibly because the horse in the story is a gorgeous sun-tanned chestnut (I love brown horses for some slightly unknown reason). I absolutely LOVE horses, so it was really no shock that I fell in love with this book. On its face, the topic its self was enough to win me over, but I loved how complex the book became when entwined with romance. A gripping tale of mystery, ever-lasting-love, and the incredible friendship of a horseAngst and horses the perfect combo. Read repeatedly as a kid.
This is a beautiful coming of age story of transformation as Tessa, a wilful and unhappy child with an awful home life, is taught what love is through her new stable family and the offspring of her childhood horse. Packed with emotion, this book is a must read for any horse lovers, although it is so much more than just a horse book. I particularly appreciated the three dimensional quality to the characters. The insight the author gave to their lives and weaknesses as well as strengths and more
Some loves don't have to be physical. They just have to be understandable..♥ XOXO ♥

I can't remember how many horse stories I read when I was a tweenie and young teenager, and considering I read everything published by the Pullen-Thompson sisters (loved Phantom Horse series), and Patritia Leitch made me love Arabians (which lead to the happiest day of my life when I finally bought a chestnut Arab of my own aged 19). I'm surprised that until I was given this book and I read the author info that apparently she's written many horsey novels, and I never came across them.Anyway, it
Tessa is a character any kid can relate to, and her goal to prove her spiteful stepfather wrong and ride her beloved horse becomes a powerful novel of understanding, rebellion, coming-of-age and having the power to do anything.
