Description

Without a saddle or bridle, all thats left is the truth. Dream Riders is an exciting new middle-grade series about horses, friendship and being true to yourself.


Living in a remote reach of The Pocket, twelve-year-old Storm is a hippy home-schooler Medievalist who knows almost nothing about the modern world. After taking out the archery prize at the local show, Storm spots the horse of her dreams, Morning Mist, on the jousting field. Inspired by Frankies demonstration of natural horsemanship, the headstrong Storm immediately decides to join the Dream Riders and buy Morning Mist with her prize money. But shes told to forget it in no uncertain terms by the owner, Margery, a crotchety widower and champion marmalade-maker who has no time for hippies. As Storm begins learning natural horsemanship with the Dream Riders her extraordinary talent becomes clear. She could ride just about any horse but shes not prepared to give up on Morning Mist.

Reviews

Definitely one to pick up if you're a pony book fan, especially if you enjoyed Frankie's book! * Bookish Bron *
