His first girl Judy soon outgrows him and he starts teaching Nina soon after. He has to teach her that being on a horse is not as scary as it seems. Soon Nina grows up to and Radish stays the same.

Readers who will like this: Readers who like horses and like riding them will like this story.

Response/Rating: 3; This story was alright but a little cheesy for my taste. It is a good first chapter book for young readers though.

Question: Who here has ever rode a horse and what are some things that would make it hard to do so?
