A Horse for All Seasons - Softcover
With a pleasing blend of humor, adventure, mystery, and drama, author Sheila Kelly Welch presents a collection of seasonal horse stories that appeals to a wide range of young readers. Here are twelve realistic tales of contemporary children and the difficulties they encounter in their everyday lives--lives in which horses happen to be key players. Even children who aren't horse-crazy will be able to identify with characters like Richie, Brent, Lynda, and Janelle, who not only face obstacles but grow and change as they overcome them. There to help them are their equine friends--Rosey, Splashes, Penny, and the others--who save the day, steal the show--and find their way into the hearts of story characters and readers alike.

Review:
"Except for two previously published in CRICKET, these twelve horse tales make their first appearance in this book. Stories of kids and horses include acts of equestrian heroism; wishes of horse acquisition fulfilled; and accounts of riding trium phs. Protagonists include boys and girls, Arabians and Quarter Horses, good riders and bad, in a variety that adds appeal to the mix... Welch has a good understanding of horses and of horsey readers who suffer from pony privation. These stories... [are] sweet and briefly satisfying; genre fans will down 'em like sugar lumps." -- The Bulletin of the Center of Children's Books
Twelve realistic horse stories center around contemporary children in this strong collection, which tells of the struggle to face obstacles and win goals. Welch’s attention to presenting a variety of scenarios and conflict situations creates a winning horse collection here. -- Midwest Book Review
