A review by giantsdancefarm
The Island Stallion by Walter Farley
4.0
3.5 but I couldn't possibly drop back to a 3.
One of my absolute favorite series as an adolescent, before I ever was privileged to learn to ride but dreamt about it constantly.
Now that I've had my own horses for over 45 years, I certainly recognized a number of errors and inconsistencies, but I'm going to ignore those or maybe write them off as practices which have been changed since the books were written. I'll also admit that though I've owned two Thoroughbreds off the track (OTTB) the horse racing world is not my favorite discipline of the horse world.
I intend to go back to read the whole series now that my library is finally sort of open (still in online order with no contact pickup because of COVID-19).
FYI I'm going to be posting a similar if not very same review for many of these books with possible minor changes in rating and details specific to each book in the series. Or I may not if feeling lazy.
