Agonisingly slow at times,this book was in itself a long slow hack.

At times some of the characters seemed only mere sketches and superfluous to requirements.

But as usual with K.M Peyton I learnt a lot about a new subject!

Worth a read.

This is one of my favorite books. I must have read it at least twenty times(Which is big seeing as with 99% of other books I cant read something when I already know the story line). I love Tessa, how strong willed she is. And Buffoon is such a cutie(at least in my head). I would recommend this book to anyone and everyone. I love it that much.

This book is stunning. It’s the second time I’ve read it but it felt like the first, and affected me as much, if not more.

It’s truly beautiful, moving and wild. A true gem of a book.

I swear I cried more at this book than I have at any other book. It may just be very personal, this book reflects all of the things I have felt about horses in my life in such an honest, heart-wrenching way I couldn't articulate. And the ending is what I needed.

Was my favorite book as a child for a long time. While it has been awhile I remember loving the characters and really feeling the struggle Tessa was going through. Something I have to pick up again sometimes soon.

This is a beautiful coming of age story of transformation as Tessa, a wilful and unhappy child with an awful home life, is taught what love is through her new stable family and the offspring of her childhood horse. Packed with emotion, this book is a must read for any horse lovers, although it is so much more than just a “horse book”. I particularly appreciated the three dimensional quality to the characters. The insight the author gave to their lives and weaknesses as well as strengths and more complex than just the “good” or “bad” that can be portrayed in books such as these. I highly recommend this book and found it difficult to put down until the end.
