An impossible task: find the novel about a wild horse...

[AllQuietOnThePippisFront]

... that I read non-stop when I was 12ish (I think).

I do not remember the title nor the name of the horse nor anything except it was about a pack of wild horses with particualr focus on one. Something like Spirit but without all that adventure.

Go on give me ideas, if nothing else I'll discover some new ones for my children.

Ah, I was 12 in 1986.

TIA

It's not any of the Monica Edwards books. Love them, got them all. GGBP is republishing them. Hopefully going to visit Romney Marsh this summer to see if we can view the places. (Along with Malcolm Saville stories too)

Oh how I loved the Black Station books - all of them, with the son called Satan and the filly Black Minx. I wanted to live in New York and have racehorses that lived with old Napoleon in the stable around the corner, and race them and have glorious adventures!

i can recommend beetroot books for upbeat, postively focused childrens books

SLight deviation here but it is about pony/horse books...

Fidra Books have republished JILL'S GYMKHANA by Ruby Ferguson. It has a lovely black pony cantering across the field on the cover. A few slight modernisations, but nothing that would bother a Jill fan. I bought it for my daughter. OK, lie of the month: I bought it for me, as I'd lost my old copy from when I was ten and you need to have these books with you.

If you have daughters Jill is a great role model: feisty, self-reliant, ingenious and kind.

I loved Moorland Mousie, would have to be second-hand I would think.

wow, thank you for all the suggestions. I will have a look at them one by one and see if I can find it. The fact that I grew up in Italy doesn't help... cannot even recognise the book cover ! Do not panic: I am sure the authour was from an english speaking country!

There's an online bookseller who specialises in pony books; she might be able to help.
