Hogan's collection brings horse lovers stories to feast on: some tense, some whimsical, some fantastic, and even one horrific. She understands both the girl who wants a horse so bad her teeth ache and the retired trainer whose mind remembers skills his body can no longer perform. She recognizes the frustration of men confronted with smart, confident women dedicated to their horse activities. Written for Helen's granddaughter and her pony, the bonus features bring the young and young at heart a whimsical pony's viewpoint.
