Come on Seabiscuit by Ralph Moody

Who would have believed that a knobby-kneed little colt called Seabiscuit would become one of the most celebrated racehorses of all time? Although Seabiscuit was the grandson of the legendary Man O' War, he was neither handsome nor graceful. His head was too big, his legs were too short, and his gallop was awkward.

During the depths of the geest Depression, Seabiscuit's wins against incredible odds uplifted the hearts of Americans from the streets to the White House. Ralph Moody recounts the thrilling tale of the plucky horse who refused to quit, the down-on-his-luck jockey who didn't let horrendous accidents keep him out of the saddle, and the taciturn

trainer who brought out the best in both.

Justin Morgan had a horse by Marguerite Henry

“nope that little fellar don't look like he'll amount to much.” that's what almost everyone said about Little Bub. But young Joel Goss knew that Little Bub was a special colt, even though he was a runt. When schoolteacher Justin Morgan asked Joel to gentle the colt, Joel was thrilled. Little Bub proved that size and breed weren't everything. Soon word spread throughout the entire Northeast that this spirited colt could poll heavier loads than a pair of oxen and run faster than thoroughbreds. This book, which garnered a Newbery Honor, presents the true story of a simple horse who, through pure spirit, rose to greatness. His descendants, who helped settlers tame the American wilderness, would become a world-famous breed of American horses, the Morgan.

Gypsy From Nowhere by Sharon Wagner

this is the first book of three

Wendy loved horses-yet horses were the reason for her fight against living on a ranch.

Her father's new foreign assignment was only for a year, but to Wendy, the thought of spending even one year on a ranch, so close to the horses, was sheer torture.

Aunt Laura and Uncle Art were kind and sympathetic, of course, but they didn't really understand-about Buck and all.

Then there was Gypsy, a stunning beautiful filly with one blue eye and one brown eye, who know how to open doors- including the tightly locked door to Wendy's heart. No one know where Gypsy came from. She appeared at the Cross-R Ranch the same day Wendy arrived.

Gypsy and Wendy had other things in common, too. Each had something hidden in the past; each had been badly injured; each was afraid of people, afraid of being hurt again; each cried silently for understanding.

So it was natural that Wendy should be the only one who could rescue Gypsy. And it was just as natural that this courageous, intelligent horse- the gentle, shy, love-hungry Gypsy From Nowhere- should be the only one who could restore Wendy's happiness and self-confidence.
