review 1: I started this book and finished it in 45 minutes. While it's an easy read, I believe Hart does the best job out of every Horse Diary book in regards to capturing the horse's emotions. Risky Chance, the star of the book, reminds me a lot of two very significant horses in my life who happen to be Thoroughbreds. Native Cash and Maraschino Cherry. Cash was an ex-racehorse, and Chino is the girl I work with now. This was a good book and a truly sad but heartwarming read!
review 2: I adored this volume of the Horse Diaries series. Risky Chance is a thoroughbred colt born in the 1930's and bred to race. He has heart and drive and talent, and he tells his story from the time he races his playmates up and down the fence as a yearling through his career as a race horse.... more Not everything that happens to a race horse is glory and roses, and author Alison Hart doesn't mince details when things take a wrong turn for Chance. But this book is extremely suitable for young readers while giving an even-handed account of what a race horse might actually think of his circumstances. As a horse lover, I loved it. less
