does this mean that Morgans go back to Friesans?
They sure have similar qualities. I wouldn't be surprised if someone's already done DNA testing on the breed. I know you can get your mutt dog analyzed.
We owned Black Gold and I'm sure I read it, I can picture our well-worn copy, but I can't remember what it's about.
Is King of the Wind the one about The Godolphin Arabian? I probably read that almost as much as Medecine Hat. It's a tie between that one and The White Stallion of Lippiza. I can vividly picture the nightmare image of the stallion pointing to his dragging back feet with his bony dream hands.
Skip and Barnum! That was it! Thanks, Kathy.
Is King of the Wind the one about The Godolphin Arabian?
Yes! And now I'm torn between checking it out of the library to see if I still like or just tracking down a copy and buying it. And the White Stallion we had in hardbound, and and I adored that book, too.
I'm a grown up, now, and I can buy kids books for myself all I want.
Don't know much about Morgans. Though I understand that Justin Morgan Had A Horse.
...but he wasn't called Bucephalus.
I loved Justin Morgan, too (I never knew it was also a movie!) I will go off about the awesomeness of morgans with very little notice. It's almost as bad as when I get started on percherons.
I went to UConn, where Justin Morgan was born and raised!
Black Gold is about Black Gold - who won the Kentucky Derby in 1923. He was sired by Black Toney (Col. Bradley named all his horses with "B" names) out of a mare called Useeit.
A new illustrated edition of the Louisa May Alcott short story, "An Old-Fashioned Thanksgiving."
Whatever happened with the publication of her sister's journal from when she studied art in Paris?
Oh, boo, I missed the Marguerite Henry squee. I read everything I could get my hands on by Henry and Farley and Kjellgard--dogs and horses were my go-to books until I got into junior high and discovered historicals and SF/F. And then it was Olivia Coolidge and Eloise Jarvis McGraw (Moccasin Trail and Mara Daughter of the Nile) and Zilpha Keatley Snyder and Andre Norton.
I am 45 and was in college when the Sweetvalley High books came out, so I've never even picked one up.
