Thanks for all the great answers to my horse questions. Keep ‘em comin! Today I thought I would list some of the horse stories I have read; I have a big collection of horse stories and some of them are kinda old.
Black Beauty – I’ve read that one like 8 times and I always wanted to adopt Ginger.
Misty of Chincoteague – There are a bunch of stories about Misty that I really like.
Flip – this is a picture book, the very first horse book my Mom got me. It’s very sweet and I love it.
National Velvet – I’ve read several versions of this one and seen 2 movies too.
Have you read any of these?
Hey, you know it’s April 5th and I just now remembered to say Happy Birthday! How many of you are April birthday bbs?
Xoxoxoxo

I've read one of the black beauty mysteries book-- and I have 2 black stallion movies, and the black beauty one too.... and then there's like, the movie Felicity (by American Girl) who has a horse (Penny) in it,, and then there's Flicka, that's about a wild stallion.... and I think that's it. :-D

Yes, Black Beauty is probably the only horse book I've read, but I think it's fantastic

Dear B & V ,
My Brother`s Birthday is going to be on the 19th April and he is going to be 9 years old.
My B- day was already on the 10th of February but because I have not posted in a very loooooong time I couldn`t tell you and I am now 13 years 'Teenager' !!
I hope you record my brother`s Birthday on your calender and if any one has birthday gifts please tell me !! I really need it because my brain is blank of ideas. I always get stuck at finding presents for people.

Were you saying Ginger? I pity her because she finally died due to her master's cruelty.
