It’s nice to see you again. We’ve been friends our whole lives. But your talent is racing, while mine is jumping. Your gray coat looks as beautiful as ever. I’m glad we talk among ourselves, but not with people. Who knows how they’d react? Oh, I heard you won the Acorn Race. That’s impressive, congratulations.” “Why, thank you, Charlene. Personally, I’ve always admired your dark red coat. Did you wear a green blanket under your saddle to qualify for the Green Jumper Championship?” asked Ann. “No, Ann, in horse shows, if you enter the Green Jumper Classes, it means you haven’t had experience jumping in shows.” “Silly me, I imagined you’d have to dye your dark red coat green, or at least, use a green saddle pad.”

A real treasure!

A STORY ABOUT NEVER GIVING UP
5.0 out of 5 stars

Yet another wonderful children’s story from Ms. Dunne about how dreams, hard work, and determination eventually wins the day.

Children often feel they are the only ones facing challenges, things are always easier “for the other guy,” and they never are going to amount to anything. And of course, with children being children—which is to say, being capable of saying and doing cruel things (in the story, one horse kicks up mud in another’s face during a race)—situations involving competition can turn ugly fast. It’s easy for little ones to get discouraged under such circumstances, and here’s where they need all the encouragement they can get.

Reading a book such as this (and others in Ms. Dunne’s series) is the perfect tonic for brightening a child’s day and restoring their spirits. Who doesn’t love horses? Or a chicken that wears funny hats? Who can stay sad in the face of hearing about how friends can help friends overcome obstacles.

This and others of Ms. Dunne’s books inspired by her life riding and training horses are treasures to be shared with your children, books that can be read over and over again at bedtime, at the beach, in the park, or any time you’re looking for share something that will have a positive influence on your young one’s life.
