This has to be the worlds best horse book,well it is in my eyes. Its about a foal sired by a famous race horse whos born really ugly, at the start this poor foal is sold pretty much everywhere but isnt looked after correctly until it gets sold to someone who takes it to be trained at a race stud where a miss understood young girl ends up working as a punishment falls in love with this ugly thing. it gets called all sorts of horrid names but this girl doesnt care what people say. after it looses its 1st race the owner sells the horse on again breaking the girls heart who looks everywhere to get this horse back to buy herself. to find it over a year later rotting in a field. whilst working on the yard she decides she likes it there and decides that she wants to be a jockey, though only one person there thinks its a good idea as shell be the 1st woman jockey. I could go on all day but for those who want to read this book i dont want to give away the ending. but trust me this book is a really good buy.

Hi, I loved this book too and was really sad when I'd finished it. I love K M Peyton and she has written some great horse books. I recommend 'Darkling' too if you haven't read that one. I agree - a great book.
