White Stallion of Lipizza | Marguerite Henry

pick

Who knew that adored author Marguerite Henry spent her last 2 decades writing and relaxing in Rancho Santa Fe, a community known for its horse ranches & riding trails—and happens to be in my neighborhood! So off I went to the Historical Society where Henry‘s photo is featured on their wall among RSF‘s most famous residents including Bing Crosby & Howard Hughes! Will be reading this Henry bio next by Susan Friedland.

I thought I had read all of M. Henry, but this was new to me. Hans was precious. Maestoso Borina was a stinker - the way he taught Hans how to ride. What a fabulous pair. #ChildrensClassicRead2025 @TheBookHippie

TheBookHippie I‘m so glad you liked it! I‘m reading it slowly with my grandson! (edited) 7d

Misty's Twilight | Marguerite Henry

so-so

This is a higher so-so. I own the book but out of all of Marguerite Henry's books I've read I've only read it twice (compared to several for the others I own). I guess I just felt a little jilted after reading Misty of Chincoteague, Stormy, Misty's Foal, and others.

The Black Stallion | Walter Farley

#MidWinterSolace #Naturalitsy @Alldebooks @TheBookHippie @Chrissyreadit

The Black Stallion (tagged) by Walter Farley was my favorite childhood book. Read all his horse books numerous times. Honorable mention is My Friend Flicka, Big Red and the Billy and Blaze series. Not a surprise than animal stories were my favorite.

Readergrrl Me too!!! I read the Black Stallion series so many times I could‘ve recited them! Marguerite Henry, Billy and Blaze, and so many more. I still have my first copy of The Black Stallion signed by my dad for Christmas of 1976. It holds a place of honor in my library. 🐎🩷 2mo

DogMomIrene Loved the Black Stallion series too. And the movie was so beautifully shot. Thinking about all the reboots of older movies happening now in Hollywood, and I‘m wishing someone would tackle this story again, and the sequels. 2mo

TheSpineView @DogMomIrene Great idea! I would love to see a remake! ❤️🐎📽 2mo
