I’m absolutely obsessed with horse books and am always expanding my library.  When time permits, I even read them!  Below are some reviews I’ve put together with the view to finding child friendly and insightful young adult books for the horse lover.  Reviews of non fiction books can also be found below.

If you too love to devour horse novels, perhaps you’ll consider taking a look at the first two chapters of my novel which I hope to finish writing by the end of 2010.
