Thanks for those - is the Young Horse Dairies one fact or fiction - can't quite work it out. I don't know. It isn't clear is it? A pity that neither the descriptions nor the reviews tell us exactly which one it is. I think it could be a type of factual autobiography.

Tried to get that last one which seems to have come OK, and the Young Horse Diary one - but it downloaded and then disappeared, obviously I got the DAIRY version and it melted in the heat!!
Thanks for posting them folks!

Anne Digby's Horse Called September is free....in fact, it's in the top 100 free on Amazon in the US! Who says people don't like old fashioned horse books?

Thanks tamzin, could be interesting. I've done a bit of gambling on the races in my time and seen quite a few addicts. Couldn't happen to me tho as I'm too tight with my money! It will be interesting to see the American side of horse race betting as opposed to the British side.

www.amazon.co.uk/Fathers-Choice-Horses-Heaven-ebook/dp/B00DI01LB6/ref=sr_1_27?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1374693884&sr=1-27The plot sounds familiar. Does it ring a bell with anyone else? "A Father’s Choice is a horse story about a young girl, Anna, whose father has made the choice to leave the family. Due to financial difficulties, the family loses their home and has been forced to live with relatives, making Anna’s life difficult. Recently, they have come to stay at Anna’s grandparent’s home, where she discovers a horse. Immediately falling in love with the horse, Anna learns to continue her love for the people that she is angry with, like her father. Unfortunately, Anna is unable to raise enough money to purchase the horse, so when she moves away from her grandmother’s, she won’t be able to see the horse again." It sounds as if it lacks imaginative creativity and is clinically following a formula, but it is FREE: "This is the first entry into the Horses from Heaven series, a new series in kid’s fiction. It is a brilliant short story about girls and horses for kids, as it is an entertaining and enlightening read, especially for any child that is struggling to overcome an anger issue. Short stories for kids in recent years have been created for a quick profit rather than to entertain and teach their readers. Often, these books treat children like fools, and assume they are incapable of handling deeper plots or anything less than a completely happy and innocent story. Luckily, this book is a one of the few short stories for children that attempts to both entertain, and instruct its readers in a deep manner."

Thanks haffy! I've been neglecting the freebies lately.
Yes I think Queen Rider would be a fab choice for a future discussion and even if not its a MUST read!

Hi all just to let you know that Jane Ayres excellent book Transitions has been revised and republished as an ebook and re-named The Horse in My Heart. This is a great read for those who like a bit of depth in their stories. If you have only read her Mattie series however, this one is much more serious and darker in tone. www.amazon.co.uk/The-Horse-Heart-Jane-Ayres-ebook/dp/B00GJYWGFS
