1960's Show Jumping Book
Rating  (4)

***The following is from the back of the book, I DID NOT write it***
Honey Jackson loved horses; in fact, she was a victim of the spell they called "horsepower." She worked as a groom for the Hirshman Stables, caring for Blanco, the champion jumper. Her dream was to one day have her own stables. But that dream was far away because her father had other things in mind for her - Honey had to decide which future was best for her.
***My Review***
This is an interesting book about a girl who experiences both the lower classes in the horse show scene and the upper classes whose parties employ "the people who need work." The book tracks Honey's journey from the horse to non-horse set of people with a nice "girl and her horse" plotline running though it.
