Vivian Roycroft

This was a very wordy book. I found myself having to reread parts and that interfered with my focus on the story. It was just hard to read for me. I felt too many words took from the story. The premise was good and I enjoyed the characters. But it was a hard book for me to read.

It was a good read with very interesting characters. I will admit I wasn't glued to the book, it just wasn't grabbing my full attention.

I enjoyed this little anthology. It's a very personal expression of affection for horses along with a detailed and technical explanation of engagement as well as an essay on the importance of warming up a horse before work and cooling it out again after.
I particularly liked the poems because of their humour and overall sentiment toward horses.
