Heartland: Alleen verder, geschreven door Lauren Brooke en vertaald naar het Nederlands door Sofie de Lint is een erg inspirerend en mooi boek over het helpen en beter maken van paarden op alle mogelijke manieren. Hiernaast is het boek ook emotioneel en gaat het in op de menselijke emoties van vooral de hoofdpersoon, Amy Fleming, en hoe die omgaat met verdriet, rouw en verandering. Verder is het boek ook hoopvol, vooral als het gaat om het verzorgen en beter maken van de paarden op Heartland range. 

Een mooi boek voor elke paardengek en voor iedereen die een middle-grade boek met (menselijke) emoties en persoonlijke groei kan waarderen.

I've never made a review for a book that I read in the past, but I'm going to make an exception for this book (and the prolific series that it spawned).

I read these when I was maybe twelve or thirteen years old and fell in love with every book. I rode horses for a few years, never really got into that horse-obsession phase that some people have, but I sure as hell did love these books. They were innocent and engrossing, perfect small books to get a tween or early teen to read, and I went through them on a book-per-day basis. Although I can't remember names or plotlines now, I remember loving with all of my heart these books, all of their characters, and all of the horses.

I read the Heartland series as I was growing up. I felt like I could relate to the main character in the book because she was very passionate about horses and I was too.

Always love rereading this one. It's definitely full of angst and overly dramatic, but so heartwarming at the same time.

I might been overly involved with this novel bit I have my reason. But still it is a really good book and I already know that I will be in a treat for the rest of the books.

Nice environment, good character development and of course horses!

Cheesy and more juvenile than I remember (interestingly enough the original English version reads more juvenile than the Dutch translation) but still touching and good
