French, Jackie Ride the Wild Wind
HarperCollins Australia, 2002
Ride the Wild Wind is a collection of stories about horses through human history and their tight working relationship with humans. From ancient Ukraine, the Mongol horde of Ghengis Khan, Arthurian legend and finally Australia in the 1950's when the working bond between man and horse finally ends. Ride the Wild Wind is a beautiful and touching look at the roles horses have played in our history and legend, and the writing is some of Jackie French's best. A change of pace from the usual horse book for young readers but an excellent one.
Recommended for ages: 11-Up
