Wonderful teenage horse story By Cheyenne Blue Eleanor McGraw, a Pony Named Mouse and a Boy Called Fire was a random read in 2013 that turned out to be one of my top ten books of the year, so I was delighted to learn that Katharina Marcus has a new YA horse-themed novella out. And what’s more, it was (and still is) free."Boys Don’t Ride" is the story of 17 year old Tull who loves horses, but has no money to learn to ride. Through a small good turn in the school cafeteria, he meets Liberty¸a rather solitary girl, whom he is intrigued by. In turn, when Liberty discovers his suppressed passion for horses, she gradually lets him into her life, and is the gateway for Tull’s entrance into the horse world.Liberty works—some might say slaves—at a local stables in exchange for use of a horse, and over the weeks, Tull becomes her willing companion. The story culminates at a biannual charity day that the stables runs.There’s so much to love about this story: the characters are strongly drawn—especially the rather prickly Liberty, and the gentle, almost diffident Tull. There are horses, of course, as well, and although Titch, Oliver, and The Gingerbread Man have individual characters, they aren’t major players in the story. There’s a very decent overarching plot, and there’s humor and a dash of teenage romance.But what stands out, what shines so brightly for me in this story is the warmth and the love. There is just so much of both. The first thing I noticed was Tull’s love for horses. It permeates the pages, the longing, the desire to know horses, to know everything about them, the simple pleasure of their smell, and the contentment of standing next to a drowsing pony in a straw-filled stall, with your hand on their neck and their muzzle against your leg.Then there’s the love Tull and his mother share, the love and understanding that Liberty and the stable owner share, Tull and his cat, everyone and the children at the charity day. There’s so much love in this story, so much decency even in a cruel and unfair world.When I was 12 I was Tull, wanting, wanting so badly. Between 13 and 18 I was Liberty, joyfully slaving for my rides, working 12 hours just to canter a pony across the heath at the end of the day back to a distant paddock. I remember the pleasure of frosty mornings when no one else was awake, and fingers frozen to a water bucket. I remember ponies crowded around the gate, breath huffing, and the mad gallop to the yard. I remember teaching children to ride, watching the joy unfurl on their faces, the smell of saddle soap and a quiet tackroom as the low sun streamed in the window. I remember crazy days seeing who could jump a course bareback with arms outstretched, the camaraderie of friends who understood you because their focus was the same. I remember the backache of pulling ragwort, long slogs to distant water troughs, and the quiet hack home through country lanes after a local show. No rosettes? Didn’t matter. Being there was what mattered.For me, "Boys Don’t Ride" brought back those days, put them sharply into relief, made me remember the days when horses were what mattered the most. Made me miss them so much it ached.The above is what this novella did for me. It’s a rare book that can evoke such remembered pleasure. But it would work too for someone—child or adult or in-between—who knows what it’s like being with horses, or wants to know. Or simply for someone who wants to read a well-written story, imbued with warmth and love, and yes, some sadness. But that’s what life’s about, isn’t it?Highly recommended.

A wonderful Coming of Age Story By Christine Meads This is a book that has the love of horses, a young boy, and a girl who has a disability.Tull is 17 and he loves horses. He knows a lot about them and wishes that he could have one. But his mom is divorced so there is no money for a horse, nor there is for riding lessons. Tull has been told that boys don't ride horses, only girls do.Tull goes to school and spots a girl, who everyone calls Lips. He tries to make friends with her and also finds out that she works and rides at a riding stable nearby. So he tags along. Tull learns what it's like to work with horses and also disabled and ill kids. Will his dreams come true?This is a coming of age story, for love of animals and also between two people whose lives are so different from each other. Even though there are obstacles, they are willing to work through them.I would recommend this book for all those who love horses and to watch a beautiful relationship forms because of that love.

The tentative romance built on friendship and new experience, on understanding and easing into a comfortable rhythm is so enveloping you won't be able to put it down. The two characters so well written and developed evolve the story beautifully. There is no way you don't finish this book the day you buy it, just out of pure fixation as you quickly get pulled into this book and engrossed in it and invested in the characters. Needless to say, I freaking loved it.
