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
