The Stone Pony Vintage Horse Book

By Patricia Calvert
Publisher: Signet 1982 ISBN: 0451126270
It just wasn't fair... Mom and Ashleigh, Dad and JoBeth, that was the way it was supposed to be. But Ashleigh was dead now and nothing would ever be the same. Pretty, popular with boys, and a championship rider, her sister Ashleigh had been JoBeth's opposite in every way. JoBeth was scared stiff of both boys and horses, and was happiest when she was helping out her museum director father by trying to solve such puzzles as the meaning of the symbols on the museum's ancient stone pony statuette. Yet, suddenly being the smare daughter didn't seem so important anymore. Maybe that was why JoBeth decided to bike out to the stables. She told herself that she owed it to Ashleigh to make sure her horse was okay. Just one look and that would be it. But JoBeth hadn't reckoned on Luke, the club's stable boy - secretive, lonely Luke - who offered to show her how to ride, and by helping JoBeth lose her fear of horses, helped her overcome her fear of living too.

Into The Land of Unicorns The Unicorn Chronicles Book #1 Horse Book

By Bruce Coville
Ages 9-12 Grade 4-6
Publisher: Apple Paperbacks, Scholastic 1994 ISBN: 0590459562
Cara follows her grandmother's cryptic instructions and winds up in Luster, the land of the unicorns. When Cara Hunter leaps from a church's bell tower clutching her grandmother's magic amulet, she falls into the land of Luster, home of the Dimblethum, delvers, dragons, the Squijum, and lots of unicorns. Since her grandmother told her to guard the amulet and to deliver an important message to the unicorn Queen, Cara embarks on a journey to her court. She is accompanied by her friends, chief among them Lightfoot, an adolescent unicorn who is having a difficult time with his family. The voyagers are attacked by delvers, Firethroat the Dragon, and Cara's father, who abandoned her when she was three. The loose ends will presumably be the starting point for the next entry in the series. The most striking aspect here is the story within a story. Coville combines all of the known myths about unicorns into one smooth retelling about a woman named Beloved whose life in ways mirrors Cara's own; this tale creates the foundation for the entire novel. The characters are well drawn and the dialogue flows nicely. The plot, particularly the twist involving Cara's father, will be predictable to seasoned fantasy aficionados, but as a whole, the book should find a favored and well-deserved place on most shelves.

When ten-year-old Whitey discovers a blind colt amid a herd of mustangs and takes a liking to him, Whitey’s uncle forbids him to bring the colt home and says the colt probably won’t survive long, anyway. He’s proven wrong as the colt adapts and stubbornly survives, and Whitey just can’t resist going against his uncle’s wishes and sneaking the determined colt onto the ranch. Front cover creased, has some yellowing due to age & minor dings to cover edges, etc. Still a nice find for collectors of older children’s horse books.
