This was one of my childhood favorite books and wanted to pass these stories on to my nieces and nephews. I don’t think it is currently in publication as I was only able to find used copies. However, they copies I received were both in excellent condition.

True Stories for Horse Lovers

Reviewed in the United States on August 31, 2013

Margaret Davidson is a wonderful storyteller. Though Ms. Davidson is better known for her biographies, which are excellent, she applies the talent of her pen to explain the origin of five equine breeds. We learn how the Morgan horse got its name (through an interesting man by the name of Justin Morgan), the Pacing White Mustang - the horse with a wild spirit that could not be tamed, the story of Misty - made famous by Marguerite Henry in her classic novels, a donkey named Brighty (also by Marguerite Henry), and the story of clever Hans. The equines in this book actually lived; in most cases, they started in beloved classics. This little book is a fine introduction to these wonderful characters.

I already owned "5 True Dog Stories" and this book was an amazing addition to my library. My kids love it and it allows me to spend quality time with them every night while I read them a story! Thanks a bunch!!
