big fan of the black stallion series and all the books by marguret henry (all horse books). I was a big horse person (still aM) when i was a kid, so all the books were horse related.

:lol: I never thought about it like that, but I loved both of these series, as well as The Mouse and the Motorcycle and Stuart Little. There was just something about the thought of little creatures living among humans, unbeknown to the humans. Using our stamps as portraits, thimbles as bathtubs, and rose petals as clothing.
