Moving story about a horse that ran on heart
Marguerite Henry is a wonderful writer and this is a story I read over and over. I was very young when I read this book but it always creates fond memories for me. It sparked my love for horses and riding. The ending of the story made me cry but I loved the book. I would recommend this book for 7-10-year-olds.
