Shelley's book about the Black Stallion made me realize that this is a good time for books about horses. The Kentucky Derby will be run today at 6:00 EDT. From what I remember, the Preakness will follow in three weeks, with the Belmont Stakes two weeks after that. Besides the Black Stallion series by Walter Farley, there's... Seabiscuit by Laura Hillenbrand The series about Misty of Chincoteague by Marguerite Henry Fern Michael's Kentucky series: Kentucky Rich, Kentucky Heat, and Kentucky Sunrise. There's bound to be some more on Bookshare, but this is all I could think of off the top of my head. Gerald
