4.0

When I was 8 years old I watched the Disney production "miracle of the white stallions." I was always impressed by the art of classical riding even though I am a simple pleasure rider myself. I was so excited to see this book, that revisited the story of these treasured horses. I especially liked that the author included the story of the Arabian horses that where kidnapped from Poland. While this book is a tad long in some parts, it is incredibly well detailed and gave me a greater appreciation of the men and women who lived through the horrors of war and sought to preserve the horses that touched their lives.
