Not worth the time to read...
This book is not worth the time to read. The plot is convoluted and unbelievable, the characters are not interesting, and the horses (ponies) are poorly delineated. I gave it every chance, but got so bored with it I started skipping pages madly less than a third of the way into it. Even for confirmed horse-lovers (me, for one), the book rates low. Good grief, horses just do NOT act in the manner described! Who ever heard of a "wild" stallion leading a person to a foal's grave and pawing it up? It just doesn't happen that way, folks. Do yourself a favor...pick some other book to read at the beach.
