From School Library Journal
Grade 4-8-A book supposedly for families who are about to buy a horse and have no prior knowledge of horses or their care. Hill's tone seems almost condescending at times. People who know as little as the author assumes and take on the responsibility of horse ownership are in trouble, and this book does not offer enough information to get them out of it. There is some sound advice here, but it isn't appropriately written for a novice audience. In "Finding the Right Horse," readers are advised to "look for one with good training and manners and a soft eye." Unless they are fairly experienced, prospective buyers won't have any idea how to evaluate the animal's training or know what "a soft eye" is. Horse-loving young readers will be better served by Sandy Ransford's Horse & Pony Care (Kingfisher, 2002) or Jackie Budd's Horse & Pony Care (Gareth Stevens, 1998).

This book has wonderful illustrations depicting how to halter a horse, body language of a horse, horse colors, grooming a horse, and many more practical things to teach you to become a responsible and successful horse or pony owner. It is an easy- to-read book with 116 very informational pages. I highly recommend this book for any child interested in horses, especially one who is thinking about owning a horse.

Great Introduction to Horses!

This book is written to young girls, but I read it so I would know at least as much as my daughter does about horses. It's easy reading and a good reference to have, especially if you plan on owning a horse at any time.
