starstarstarstarstar 		The best horse book I ever read!
by: HorseCraziestGirl

Chancey of the Maury River is the best horse book I've ever read!!! (Beside For Horse-Crazy Girls Only :)

It had such a good storyline and it was written beautifully. I'm not going to spoil anything, but Chancey lives at a barn with "his girl", Claire. Claire has gone through sadness, and Claire goes through it, too. You really feel empathy for the characters as the story goes on.

One downside is that they say Chancey's an albino, but there's no such thing as an albino horse! Explanation: an "albino" horse never has red eyes, like albino rats or rabbits.

I'm glad someone else in the comments wrote that too! It makes me feel so much better! Congrats, girl who wrote that comment!

starstarstarstarstar 		The Maury River Stables Series
by: Devyn

While I think this is a wonderful book, I think the other two books in this series are even better and I'm surprised they aren't mentioned on this website. They are Macadoo of the Maury River, which is about a Belgian Draft horse, and Dante of the Maury River, about a racehorse.

PS. I really hope the author writes more books in this series!

It's a great book about a Belgian stallion. When he is young his mother tells him that helping is the " Belgian way" . He then spends his life helping -whether it's a butterfly or an orphaned boy or disabled kids at a therapeutic riding stable.

It gets complicated, but it's a great, heartwarming book. Please read it.

I read this book for a book report. I was first confused about who is telling the story. I later found out it was the horse. Wonderful book, just four stars because it's a little bit confusing in some parts. Sad when he gets cancer!

by: Brooke

I don't know it didn't have that much action and was kind of boring so i didn't really like it. it didn't pull me in and make me want to read more so i say it is okay but NOT appealing.

Chancey is an albino Appaloosa gelding. When his owner (who still grieves from Chancey's mother's death) goes broke, she has to sell him and his fellow equines to Maury River Stables. There, he meets Claire, a young girl who's parents are divorced and is still trying to recover. The two working together as a team, as well as being part of a therapeutic program at Maury River Stables. This book is wonderfully written, with rich definition and story telling by Gigi Amateau.
