What a joy!

I never expected to find an author who could so perfectly capture a young girl's passion for riding in quite the same way as Marguerite Henry did years ago, but this book is proudly stands up to such classics as King of the Wind and Black Beauty. As a young reader, I was obsessed with horses and riding, much like the heroine in this book, and poured over every Henry book written. I haven't dabbled in this genre for years, but this book completely transported me to Jane's world filled with an young girl's excitement and heartbreak. This book's appeal is ageless and is bound to capture the heart of anyone who has ever loved a horse.

Would recommend to my friends

The story has good drama and you often wonder what's coming next. I liked the inside jokes and humor too and the relationship Jane has with her sister and with Robin. I liked the descriptions of the courses, which were really accurate and fun. The ending is also really good.

What a great book!

Deeply compelling and at times heartbreaking, "A Horse of Her Own" is surprisingly complex and sophisticated, while remaining firmly rooted in its genre. Its emotional turns and twists pull you into the story from page one and keep you rapt until the end. An extremely satisfying read. I'm not usually a fan of books about teenage girls or horses, but "A Horse of Her Own" has made me a convert. I can't wait for her next book!

A must have for young horse lovers

I bought this book for my 12 year old daughter, and she loved it so much I read it myself! It is heart warming and exciting, all the characters vivid and true to life. I wouldn't be surprised if this became an instant classic. I'd recommend heartily for any teen or pre-teen--even those who are not horse fanatics.

Fourteen-year-old Jane Ryan has always dreamed of having a horse of her own?but so long as she gets to ride her favorite school horse, Beau, at Sunny Acres farm, she?s content. And this is the summer she means to try out for the advanced riding class.
But just as camp begins, Jane receives heartbreaking news about Beau. She loses, not just her favorite horse, but also her chance to ride in the end-of-summer competition. When her trainer asks for her help with an out-of-control chestnut warmblood, Lancelot, a newcomer to the barn, she has no choice but to say yes.
There?s another new addition to the farm: Ben Reyes, the grandson of the barn's manager. As Jane struggles to go on without Beau, and to make Lancelot the great horse she believes him to be, her feelings for Ben, her relationships with the privileged group of girls she rides with, and her painful, joyous road to self-discovery all lead to a heart-pounding conclusion that is truly a new beginning. Only Jane?s faith in Lancelot, and her own rediscovered skill and strength, can see her through the hard journey toward a horse of her own.
