If I am being honest, this may have been the worst horse diaries book. I usually enjoy these for the history they include in them, but with this one I couldn't even do that. Calvino is considered one of the most prized horses in the worls, yet he breeds with a horse of a different breed? Sure... ( )

*spoilers!*

This was a pretty good book, although the main plot seemed to start a little late in the book. I liked learning about the Andalusian horses, and as I read books in this series I'm starting to realize that they take real events in history and weave them into the book. I feel like the book could've spent more time on Calvino's doma clasica training with Rico, that felt a little rushed. But overall it was a very good book. ( )
