A Junior Library Guild selection

"Koch tucks proud, graceful horses aplenty, both wild and at work, into her mix of square and free-form sequential panels. Corrals both the romantic and revolting sides of the story: Elementary and middle school readers who saddle up are in for a heady ride."--School Library Journal

"Dynamic comics-panel illustrations use self-referential techniques to move the humorous narrative forward, while "Mane Idea" asides explore topics like horse diet and digestion." --Horn Book
