Summary: Jeff lives on Golden Ridge Farm, where, to his father, horses are prize winning possessions, and only palominos are allowed on the farm. The unexpected arrival of a dark brown hunter makes a dream come true for Jeff, who wants a horse he can love, that will be a companion, and used for cross-country riding. But it brings a long standing conflict with his father into the open, with his palominos only rule.
Condition: The interior is bright, with just a few small stray marks. There are several corner creases, no tears, and the only writing is a former owner’s name written along the side of the inside of the front cover. The inside of both covers and the free endpapers have browning and shadowing. The top page edge surface, viewed when the book is closed, has dark foxing. The spine is straight, the hinges are very good, and the book can wiggle just a bit. The edges have very light wear. The corners have light rubbing, and one bottom corner is thickened and turns in. The back cover has some discoloration from foxing. The front and spine are very good. The spine ends are folded, with light rubbing.

Please bookmark my list and check back often during the week. Throughout the fall I will be selling several hundred horse books. Each week will have a large variety from highly desired authors and illustrators.There will be several sets of fiction series from the UK that were never available in the USA. Books will range in condition from poor copies still valued for their artwork and story, to excellent condition copies from my private library that have only been read once. Many will be ex-library books which may include any or all of the following: Pocket, slip, bar code, stamps, stickers, spine markings, or signs of the removal or partial removal of such markings. I will do my best to describe the books as well as I can, but do not check every page of every book, so I expect that some flaws might pass through unnoticed. I am not an expert on the correct terms to use and how to grade condition. Feel free to ask any questions you would like before bidding. I am available to return email several times a day. Check my feedback, and bid with confidence, YOUR SATISFACTION IS GUARANTEED! Please contact me immediately if there is a problem with your item, and I will do my best to make it right. Thanks for looking, and thanks for your bids!
