This book is probably one of my new faverote books. It was truly amazing and heartwarming. I would recomend it to anyone who likes horses. It was deffinatly a sad story and at the end its really sad.
This story is about a horse who was captured when he was really little, he was taken and trained harshly. He moves from home to home, working to hard then getting sold again. By the time he is 8 he was already worn out and "old". Then he was chosen as one of the 20 ponies to travel to the south pole. During this long hard journy the horse explaines what it was like. He watched his friends die around him and he doesnt know when he'll be next.
A great read. Another thing thats cool about it is its narrarated by the horse.

A sad tale of the Scott expedition to the South Pole in 1910-12 told from the perspective of one of the ponies brought from Russia to provide horsepower.
I listened to the audiobook version of this novel several years ago with my daughter, and it has stayed with me ever since. I am often reminded of this story and it’s original perspective as it is told from the point of view of one of the horses on an expedition to reach the South Pole. It is a touching and heart-warming story and succeeds in painting an image of what it must have been like to be in this incredible journey in such harrowing circumstances. This book ultimately broke my heart but in such a way that it softened me and will always stay with me.
