"How will Brianna handle the mischievous new horse Goldrush? Through her determination and kind spirit, Brianna proves you can accomplish what you want even with the odds against you. You don't need to be a horse lover to love this story." Raegan Mead, Third Grade Teacher, Maryland.
"Galloping Goldrush is not "just another children's horse story." Its characters are so real readers will feel as if they know them themselves; every "horse kid" can relate to the events of Brianna's life. It's a great read, with honest-to-goodness horse sense built in the novel, and a refreshing non-fairytale ending. Goldrush is sure to become a favorite four-legged literary character with this generation of young equestrians." Alexandra Layos, Junior Editor for Saddle & Bridle Magazine, and author of Blue Ribbon Days.
"As Brianna Jamieson embarks upon training a beautiful three year old Palomino gelding, she shares with the reader her triumphs and failures, her hopes and fears, her goals and disappointments. This is a great book for any horse nut who would like to learn what it really takes to train an intelligent, energetic young horse. Brianna learns to trust herself when family, friends and even professional trainers offer advice that she feels just isn't right for her horse. An entertaining and informative adventure!" Joyce Grant-Smith, Nova Scotia, Canada. Author of The Latch, a historic novel for young adults.
