Twelve-year-old Winnie Willis has a way with horses. Along with her dad and sister, Winnie is learning how to live without her mom, who was also a natural horse gentler.

Buckskin Bandit, is the 8th and final book in the Winnie the Horse Gentler series. This book is a great conclusion to the series. Though it is a bit saddening that the series is at an end. If Dandi Daley Mackall is reading this, you really need to write another book! :)

This review is from: Buckskin Bandit (Winnie the Horse Gentler #8) (Mass Market Paperback)

Liked the fact the horse was taken away from the abusive person. Did not like the fact when Winnie was being forced to go with her dad and sister to a scinece fair.
