5.0 out of 5 stars What a super book for young people - it's about time!, March 1, 2005

By	Cassandra (Houston, MO) - See all my reviews

I really enjoyed this book myself, and had to wait to read it till the kids were finished with it.....they shared it with all of their horsey friends! It was nice to see that a high quality, full color photo book was available, and the fact that this was in paperback made a great buy. Some of the most unique stories I have ever read were sprinkled throughout the text, and the design was nice for the kids, it seemed to really keep their interest. What surprised me was that they found a renewed love of their horses - which I didn't really expect! The history included in parts of the book, such as 'why Native American Indians painted their horses and what the symbols meant' was very interesting. I was thriled to hear a discussion in the other room about what these kids had learned in school about 'history' about "indians" and this book caused them to realize that there was more to the story....I am glad that this book is out there to educate as well as entertain. As a mom, I highly recommend this book for your young horse lovers - whether they own one or not. Disappointments? It could have been longer.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must by all, November 19, 2007

By	K. Warriner (San Diego Calif) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I have both the hard back and the soft back and I found them both the same, but some has different pictures. I can not get enough of Pony Boy or the photos. The soft back is easier to read, and I know have the hard back on my coffee table, and the soft back in my tack room..very good, and my husband who is a horse trainer is now using Pony Boy's method to train his horse and others...I trained my horse Pony Boys method right off the begining
