I can still remember sitting in the children's reading area of our public library (about 20+ years ago!) reading every Billy and Blaze book I could get my little hands on! If you have a child who loves horses and adventures, you need to purchase this and other books in the series. The books are easy to read with the right amount words to keep a youngster's attention, and the illustrations are perfect!

This book is perfect for the very young horse lover it is easy to read and has wonderful pictures. It is a story of one boy and his pony who helps another boy with his pony. My 4 year old grand-daughter loves it. All of C. W. Anderson books are a pleasure to read for both the young and old horse lovers. I have enjoyed them since I was a child. The pictures are almost as good as a photo. I recommend this book to all horse lovers.

This book is one of my all-time favorites. Any horse lover, young or old, must read this wonderful collection of short stories and poetry. The collection is complete with breathtaking pencil illustrations, giving the reader images to aid them in their reading.

This was one of my childhood favorites, as was the whole C.W. Anderson series. It's about a white show pony who is deemed useless because he is going blind, and the girl who loves him enough to work with his disability. This is a good book about horse-training, and the handicapped. Incidentally, when I was about 17, several years after reading this book, my horse went slowly blind, similar to the pony in the book. I tried the techniques used in this story, and taught my blind horse to negotiate uphill & downhill slopes, find curbs, and remain a useful riding horse. I wish they'd reprint it for the youngsters today.

I thought this book was wonderful, because it shows how a young girl tought a blind pony how to jump and trust her.
