I liked this book as it shows that characters feelings and thoughts. The person/people who I like best are Alex and Will as they both care about horses as if they were people and it was their families in danger or in need. I would recommend this book to any one who likes horses or and one who what’s to try something different like me.

I think this book is really inspiring because the two main characters William Greyton and Alexandra Blakewood show determination and courage through the book. It is very interesting, they enter an extremely long horse riding competition going through for states in America. Reading this book makes you feel you are part of it.

It is very exciting, and has a lot of different views on the main storyline (I won't reveal too much!) from the different characters. I would recommend this to older readers, and I think that if you're crazy about horses it helps too!!

I am not the kind to even dare get a whiff of a horse but this book is extra ordinary if you are looking for a book about determination horses and races this is your lucky moment
