(4) 4-6 Random House Riders series. Disabled teenager Katie saves a crippled colt, nurses him back to health, and eventually makes him a racing champion. The author, drawing on her own background and career as a jockey, infuses the story with accurate, exciting descriptions of horses, horse care, and competition in the show ring and on the racetrack. The story is predictable but will be enjoyed by girls who love horses.
