My Friend Flicka

Every little girls dream is to have a pony, I know it was mine as a young child. And this is one of the great classic childrens books which inspired me along my own horse adventures.

If you know of any children that adore horses and pony stories, then this might just be the perfect gift for you to offer them. They'll love to dive straight into the story of Flicka, it's such a classic tale and is still on my bookshelf to this day.

Plus with it being an audiobook it suits even those children who are not up to reading fully yet.



"A beautiful book... It will pass into that borderland where some of the best-loved books in the English tongue hold their immortality, on the shelf with Treasure Island, and Dumas and Dickens and Muting on the Bounty." --- New York Herald Tribune.

It seems Ken can't do anything right. He loses saddle blankets and breaks reins... but then comes the worst news yet: a report card so bad that he has to repeat a grade. How can you tame the dreamy mind of a boy who stares out of the window instead of taking an exam? Enter Flicka, the chestnut filly with a wild spirit. Over the course of one magical summer, both will learn the meaning of responsibility, courage, and, ultimately, friendship.
