‘Anyone, both young and old, would enjoy this beautiful book and be inspired and uplifted’ — Lyn Potter, NZ Booklovers

‘A richly layered volume that will appeal not only to horse enthusiasts but also to anyone interested in stories of human–animal relationships, creativity, and care’ — Maria Gill, KidsBooksNZ

‘Listen up, young horse lovers — this is the book you have been waiting for!’ Margaret Mills, Waiheke Weekender

‘What a pleasure it was to sit with my cup of tea, reading the stories and looking over the photographs, both recent and from years gone by, reminding me of a simpler time in life. While this book is primarily aimed at young readers, I personally found the stories to be nostalgic, emotional, educational and real. It is well worth the read’ — Elizabeth Charleston, New Zealand Equestrian Scene
