It's been so long that I've forgotten the plots of all of them, though your review brings back memories of this one. Perhaps it's time to re-read them--or finally read the Merlin books.

Like you, I never looked into the various "tricks" the stallions performed in the book, and I'm thrilled to see them now.<br /><br />Do read the Merlin books. You'll love them.

May have to hunt it up. The Lippizzaners are always so amazing to watch and so magnificent. I remember loving the movie when I was a kid. Wonder if they have it at Netflix. Thanks for the trip down memory lane. :)Linda McLaughlinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15291670592316021851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13449892.post-78794747660890043592011-02-02T05:27:50.763-08:002011-02-02T05:27:50.763-08:00Aren’t the Lipizzaners amazing?

Still, it makes me want to pick up dressage again and check out this favorite book of yours.Sarah Laurencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00423008641739156182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13449892.post-30433994536361080762011-02-02T01:13:09.528-08:002011-02-02T01:13:09.528-08:00I really enjoyed this book when I read it years ag...I really enjoyed this book when I read it years ago.
