Review Quotes

"All About Horses introduces young readers to the real-life world of horses. Few authors have hands-on experience with an adopted wild horse, but Kelly Milner Hall does, and she uses that experience to outline the rewards of gentle patience in horse care and horseback riding. Interspersed with realistic, kid-friendly art, quick quizzes, humor, and cameos of famous equines, All About Horses is a fun and informative book for kids who have horses or just wish they did." --Terri Farley, author of Wild at Heart: Mustangs and the Young People Fighting to Save Them
