For years I've read everything I could get my hands on. (That included my mom's copy of the Clan of the Cave Bear in third grade and Homer's Iliad in 5th grade!) I came across this story while systematically working my way through the middle school library and fell in love. I read it over and over again through middle school, and then forgot about it for a little while... but as a upperclassman in high school, I started to yearn for it again. I even thought about convincing my brother to check it out and "lose it"! ;-) I highly recommend that you read this book. Trust me, I've read just about every kind of book... and this one is really special. There's something about a beautiful, simple story about a special horse overcoming the odds that just rings true. "Sky Rocket" definately ranks among my all-time favorites.

This is one of my favorite horse books. I ride and all of the circumstances about Madison Square Garden are similar to real life. I find this book facinating and love it a lot. I wish it was still in print, it's a loss to the equestrian world and everyone else that it isn't.

This was a book I re-read over and over again in school, even bribing my sister to bring the book home from the school library after I had left.

This book is told from the point of view of a little bay horse named Sky Rocket. It follows him through his life through good owners and bad until he reaches a final home in a riding school.

This book is wonderful for what it teaches by telling a great story. I wish that such wonderful old-fashioned riding schools still existed today.

I would heartily reccommend this to any horse crazy reader.

I read Sky Rocket when I was young. I had no idea it was based on a true story! It was one of the best books ever written!

I first read this book when I was a little girl and it still keeps me coming back. It's a heart wrenching tale of a little horse who goes to a good home only to slide down to a series of bad to worst ones. He's saved and goes on to do great things, this is based on a true story.
