Customer Reviews

This book was one of my favorite books!

I thought this book was wonderful, because it shows how a young girl tought a blind pony how to jump and trust her.

The Blind Connemara is a charming children's horse book.

This was one of my childhood favorites, as was the whole C.W. Anderson series. It's about a white show pony who is deemed useless because he is going blind, and the girl who loves him enough to work with his disability. This is a good book about horse-training, and the handicapped. Incidentally, when I was about 17, several years after reading this book, my horse went slowly blind, similar to the pony in the book. I tried the techniques used in this story, and taught my blind horse to negotiate uphill & downhill slopes, find curbs, and remain a useful riding horse. I wish they'd reprint it for the youngsters today.
