The Wild Stallion: Ready-To-Read Level 2 (The Phantom Stallion's Family)

A wild horse protects his family in this first book in the beautiful Level 2 Ready-to-Read companion series to the classic Phantom Stallion middle grade books by Terri Farley.

The Phantom Stallion is a wild horse. He lives on a range, gallops through snowy mountains, and cools down by sipping the stream. His heavy hooves protect him from predators. When the Phantom Stallion knows the range is safe, he brings the rest of his wild horse family out of their valley and into the wild.

Terri Farley has always loved horses and is overjoyed that she outgrew her childhood allergy to them. She taught middle school and high school language arts and journalism in inner-city Los Angeles before moving to the cowgirl state of Nevada. Now she rides the range researching the books that have made her an award-winning author and an advocate for the West’s wild places and wildlife—especially wild horses. Through school and library visits, Terri continues to work with young people learning to make their voices heard. She lives in a one-hundred-year-old house with her family, which includes her dog, Willow. In true collie fashion, Willow rescued the youngest member of the Farley family, an orphaned kitten named Tamarack.
