Ireland, 1917. Darcy is a light gray Connemara pony with silver dapples. She's fast and tough, whether she's pulling a load of peat from the bog or riding around the rugged countryside with Shannon McKenna, her human family's eldest daughter. But when Mrs. McKenna needs a doctor, Darcy discovers a skill that will change her and her family's life forever. Like Black Beauty, this moving novel is told in first person from the horse's point of view and includes an appendix full of photos and facts about Connemara ponies and Irish history.

Praise for Horse Diaries:
"For kids who wonder what horses are really thinking, this new series gives it straight from the horse's mouth.... Perfect for the intended primary-grade, horse-loving audience. Occasional black-and-white illustrations and long fact-filled appendices add much."-The Horn Book Magazine
