I like how it broaches subjects that can be an issue for girls of this age; ie: weight, friend struggles, not being great at something the first time you try it, and perseverance. I think these subjects are touched on in this book in a way that is comprehensible for its intended audience"- Christiana Hofer, author of a bi-weekly veteran series "This book is geared towards preteen girls, bonus if they love horses! The way it is written is great for these young minds. They can really get into the book and connect with the characters"- Dana Dorey, caregiver For young readers, pre-teens, tweens, and teens, the Old Quarry Lake Farms Tales are not just warm-hearted stories about girls and their horses, but provide information and insight about horses and the world of riding. This is the second book in the The Old Quarry Lake Farms Tales Series.
