5.0 out of 5 stars Fatastic and breathtaking, 28 Aug 2001
By mesteraz@hotmail.com (The Netherlands) - See all my reviews
I got this book when I was about 9. I am in my 20s now and I still read this book and others from the series quite regurlarly. It is a story that embraces you and you will remember. The way Walter Farley describes horses is magnificient. You can almost touch them as you read his books.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great book, not only for "horsey" people., 28 Sep 2000
By A Customer
I loved this book as a teenager and I quite enjoyed re-reading it now as an adult. It's a real-life fairy-tale. No doubt that it will have a happy ending, but the tale is absorbing. If you're looking for a realistic story of a boy and his horse, look elsewhere. This is the "Disney" version, but none the less worth reading.
