RAJA: STORY OF A RACE HORSE
(OLD BOW PUBLISHING [USA] 2011)
ILLUSTRATED BY MARGARET KAUFFMAN
In print.
SUMMARY: Pony-point-of-view story. Raja is a top racehorse running on the Kentucky Derby trail. But when a series of bad luck and a bad fright end Raja's racing career he enters the sometimes murky world of the ex-racehorse. From jumping on the A circuit to working as a police horse, to the horrors of the auction ring, Raja must endure many changes until he finally finds his destiny.
PONYMAD VIEW: Rings the changes on the usual Black Beauty type of story by its setting in the racing and competition world. Although I have not read this as yet,, the book has had many excellent reviews and, with the author's years of experience with horses, is sure to have an authentic feel.
