Great for horse lovers

Kids who have never been near a horse will find this book of great interest. The photos and story go well together, as Sarah Mills (the girl who lives on the horse farm) tells about her life on the horse farm. These horses are bred for racing - lots of new material here. Any child will love it. (Adults too!)
