As a closeted horse girl, I have to say that Ride On combines some of my favorite tropes ever: classist horse stable drama? Check. Best friends torn apart? Check. Using horse riding as a metaphor for getting over your mental barriers? Check.
However, I always wish Hicks would let their art do the talking. There’s lots of dialogue that felt really unnecessary and took away from the subtleties and nuances in the art. Hicks has such evocative panel layouts and character expressions. I wish it had more room to breathe.

A really nice comic about horses, friendships and being yourself and following your dream.

Even though I was never a Horse Girl, this was still enjoyable. Especially as someone who has drifted from someone they once thought was their best friend. I always love Faith Erin Hicks's art and the story, while quite brief, was sweet and relatable. I would read more if there was more!

What a refreshing book! Good plot and characters without any junk in the book-just a few instances of the word “sucks”. Nice story about true friendship.
