This series by Dandi Daley Mackall is about a girl who has lost her mother and wants to become a famous horse gentler.

Wild Thing (from Amazon):

Twelve-year-old Winnie Willis has a way with horses. She can gentle the wildest mare, but other parts of her life don't always come as easily. Along with her dad and sister, Lizzy, Winnie is learning how to live without her mom, who was also a natural horse gentler. As Winnie teaches her horses about unconditional love and blind trust, God shows Winnie that he can be trusted too. Readers will be hooked on the series' vivid characters, whose quirky personalities fill Winnie's life with friendship and adventure.

In #1 Wild Thing, Winnie's fearful heart finally begins to trust God again as she tries to gentle the horse of her dreams, Wild Thing.

From the Back Cover

I have to have that horse. And I'll do whatever it takes to get her. Twelve-year-old Winnie Willis loves horses just like her mother did. But since her mom died two years ago, Winnie, her sister, Lizzy, and her father have moved five times. Winnie never cared much until now. She has a chance to buy the horse of her dreams at an upcoming auction but how will she ever earn enough money? More importantly, how can she possibly convince her dad not to move them to another town... again?

From Sydney at HorseCrazyGirls.com

I'm so sorry your parents aren't able to help you find a way to be around horses. It's so hard when Ll you want is to be around horses and ponies but you can't be!!

In the meantime, I hope you'll continue to read and learn about horses so when you're older you can hopefully find a way to put all you've learned to use.

There are a lot of other girls like you that visit HorseCrazyGirls.com. Hang in there - we get it.

My parents let me see them, one has been re-homed already and the other is still in treatment.

More good news, my parents might let me get him! I'm so excited but my dad and mom both said I must show my self responsible.

Dear The Wild horse,

I am so glad that the horses are in a safe home!

If anyone knows how hard it is to let go of a horse it is me. I just lost a horse I have known for five years that I love very much. He had to move away and a couple months ago I lost one of the best horses in the world to colic. I know it's hard. But just because you lost those horses dosent mean a different horse has to replace them. They will always have a place in your heart.

by: Aavah cowgirl

Dear horse girl,
Horses are not a waste of money as long as you actually use them and take care of them! They are a lot of maintenance and do seem to eat money (just a metaphor) but if you enter shows you can win money if you place forward the top. It takes a lot of practice. I suggest starting with lessons or leasing— that way you can decide if you want to keep going. I’m not saying you’re going to, but IF you end up quitting and you’re leasing or taking lessons your parent wouldn’t have had to buy a horse just to sell it!
Try your best!

starstarstarstarstar 		Dear black beauty
by: HorseGirl

When you pick a horse’s hoof you stand next to it facing their hind, then you pick up the hood by wrapping your hand around the front (technically the back for them) and then you pick up the hood by clicking to them. You hold the hood pick so the pick is facing the same direction as your knuckles. Pick out their hoof!

Taming wild horse can be hard! But please don’t try. Catching a horse from the wild and taming it is for the pros, but I’d you have a young horse that hasn’t been trained before it can be really fun! Do the best you can, and then when you’re done send it off to professional trainers.
There’s to answer your questions.

Hey "Winnie",

I’m in need of a silver apple on a golden platter/basket, (aka piece of advice).

I’m horseless at the moment, but have some experience. Still a beginner, but not brand new, just to give a picture of my "horse level". I’m not exactly rich, and as you know, prices are going up. So do you think it would be wise for me to get a rescue horse? I have neighbors right across the road who are horse experts, and many friends who own horses. As I said, I’ve never owned a horse, but I have helped in very basic training, and know at the very least, somewhat what I’m doing.

Thanks for taking time to answer questions from people such as me. 😉🤓

Horses have a pecking order. Firefly is trying to show Hazel she is the boss.

Also, just because horses kick other horses don't mean they kick humans! I have a mare who kicks other horses if they come close to her. And sometimes people are scared of her. But I tell them she loves humans and will not kick humans, only other horses.But make sure firefly does know who you are when you are by her. Don't just walk up in front of her or right behind her.

Also, if you do not want your pony to get hurt, you can easily build another pen with electric fence ribbon and step in fence posts! Try to spend time with Firefly and get to know her cues when she is mad, happy, and content. Horses can sense fear, so when you go into her pen, have confidence! I hope this helps!

Horse Crazy Girl,

My horse has the same problem!

What I have been doing is putting them out to pasture separately. So I put one horse out for a hour then switch. It has helped me. My horse has gotten a lot better. Her pasture mate, (also my sisters horse) still is a little silly when I do it but he is getting better. I know this sounds kinda weird because the other horse is called a "pasture mate" for a reason but as long as they can see each other for most of the day they should be good. If you want you could slowly increase the amount of time they are away from each other.

I hope this helps!

My mom says if I'm going to use Snoopy I have to give her $10 of my earnings since it's her horse and tack, and I'm fine with that, I think it's fair. My mom says $40 is a good price to charge per hour, but still $40 under an hour.

All of that seems fair, but the one thing she said got me stuck.

Spend more time with her. Try to be out there at times when it's not time to eat. Lunge her one day, do a spa on another, do groundwork, and on somedays, just sit down and read a book in her pen/stall/paddock.

Prince's owner,

Make sure you have something around his neck that is secure so he can't really run away when you bridle him. Most horse's open there mouth when you put your thumb in there mouth. Practice putting the bit in and out and show him not every time you put the bit in he has to work. But I also recommend getting a hackamore.

Hopless,

You don't need a round pen unless your horse is wild or untrained. If he is just not listening, use some food! Most horses like treats and you can give him one and he should be eager for more! After you give him a treat, start the basics of what you want him to do and if he does it, give him a treat! Make sure you make him work for the reward.

Prince’s owner:
You will need to completely retrain all of his tack. Start with the saddle pad praising him when he lets you put it on his back. Then take a piece of baler twine and a girth. String the baler twine where you would attach the saddle to the girth. Put it over the saddle pad gently lessening and tightening it. Praise him lots if he lets you do it. Then move to the saddle. Take it on and off, on and of, showing him it won’t hurt him. Praise him when he lets you do it. Then add the girth to the saddle.

Cream colored horse: Try walking around the barrels with your horse on a lead rope and then try walking with the saddle on, trotting, and then loping, if this does not work then keep working with your horse, and check what breed your horse is because that can also have a problem with traing with barrels, hope this helps.

I want a Bond: Your doing everything right, and try to fit some time in between your day to just go and sit in your horses pen and just talk to your horse and love on him/her and do you ride if you do that is a great way to bond with a horse and just telling a horse how much you care and love him/her, Really hope this help.

AJC,

You can take lessons at a stable, barn, or farm. There are lots of them and I bet there is one right outside your city!

My Fillie Sophie,

Your horse needs a friend. You are lucky to have a goat. One of my friends had a horse who needed a horse friend badly so they had to get a pony. Also talk to other stable owners, maybe you can trailer your horse to other stables and ride her there sometimes.

Horse Lover,

Have you ever thought about what you body is doing when he backs up? Are you sitting forward and giving him his mouth, or are you pulling back and leaning back? If you are leaning back it is telling him to back up. If you are pulling on his mouth that is also telling him to back up. Me and my mom rescued a horse once that was trained to back up when you moved you legs back. Are you doing that?

ArabianZ,

Your horse could be hurt and telling you he/she is hurting. Or it could be he is just plain scared. I had a horse once who was scared of the clippers, and do you want to why? It was because her owners always twiched and chained her when they did it. Matbee he has been forced to do it before. Slowly introduce it again. Start by leading him over ground poles, then you can lead him over bigger jumps, if he doesn't spoke well you are leading him slowly start riding him over them

HorseCrazy,

Tell your parents you will not get a boyfriend if you have a horse.

Wishin Hope,

If you have not already got a horse by now here are some things you can do.

. Do extra chores around the house, show
them you are responsible enough to own a
horse

. Earn some money to help pay for the
horse

. If you don't get you own horse I am sure
that there is a stable by you where you

need help,

Ask your parents for riding lessons, or I am sure there is a girl at your school who owns horses, you could make friends with her and ask for a playdate.

The.Horse.Lover.
Your horse loses his guide to go past the barrel. Without any cue from you, your horse moves in to the turn too soon. You might not realize you're asking your horse to turn early through poor horsemanship and body position. This causes your horse to shoulder-in to the barrel. Try pushing your horses head away from the feed scoop.

Horse Lover,
How hard are you pulling on the reins? you are properly pulling harder then you think you are so try to losen up on the reinsa bit and please don't use spurs.

ArabianZ,
Try to lounge Checkers over some ground poles so he can get used to jumps and if thatdoes not work try some lower jumps with him in the saddle.

Mira,
Miracle I love that name. ok try taking the bridle apart and work withthe bit itself or you could lounge her and try to get her to take the lead rope and act like the lead rope is the bit. Hope this helps

I may not be winnie but here's advice

I would go with the first trainer. Yelling can really scares horses and that can cause you to be hurt and if the first trainer is cautious and you wanna be a bigger rider. (If you ride inside of the arena) ask her to go with you if she doesn't ride. Ask her if someone can ride with you around the yard there's my advice.

starstarstarstarstar 		Horse tips
by: MustangM

Bean. Awww! I love that name! He sounds like a cutie. If he is bucking and you want to do the same thing I told horsecrazybarrelracer in my previous post. Once you get them to stop bucking, make them turn in small, tight circles, back them up, etc. Anything you can do to get their attention and make them work. Pretty soon, they'll find out you'll make them work a lot harder when they buck, than if they had just done what you ask in the first place.

Also, you may want to check your horse's teeth. A lot of older horses have teeth problems. By the time your horse is 10 or more, there is often a lot of wear and tear put on the teeth, resulting in some pretty sharp edges. When those sharp teeth rub against your horse's jaw from the inside, it is very uncomfortable for them. If your horse is an older horse, I would definitely recommend a vet checking their teeth. If they are indeed sharp, a simple procedure called "floating" should get the job done. When a vet floats your horse's teeth, they take a file and file the sharp edges of your horse's teeth down to a more even, soft place. This doesn't hurt your horse at all, but sometimes vets will give your horse a bit of sedative to relax them, because it can be scary for your horse.

I had a quarter horse mare who was amazing, but then all of a sudden she began to buck and throw fits whenever I pulled on the bit. We knew something was up, because she had never bucked before ever. Her weight was also decreasing, so we had her teeth checked, and it's a good thing too! Her molars had been worn to very sharp points, almost as if she had fangs! This was obviously extremely uncomfortable, so we had her teeth done. Immediately, we noticed a difference in behavior.

Hey guys! I know I'm not Winnie, but I think I can help y'all out. I have read those books too, and a long time ago, I tried to get to the website too, but couldn't find it. So, I will try to be "the new Winnie" and help y'all out! I have had a lot of horse training experience, and have even trained a couple mustangs from Wild, as well as several Quarter Horses. If anybody has a question, let me know and I'll do my best to help you.

Horse crazy Barrel racer

I used to have a buckskin horse that did the same thing! If your horse bucks you off during a barrel run, that is really bad. This is your horse saying "I don't respect you at all". I would try trotting the barrels, slowly, for the next few days. Then work up to a slow lope/canter. If your horse pitches with you, hang on. Don't grab the horn, it will throw you off balance- if you have to, use it to push yourself back in the saddle, don't latch onto it or you'll come off for sure.

Ideally, you want to correct it as soon as it happens. When she throws that first buck in there, be ready and pull back sharply on the reins. Then take one rein and grab onto it as close to their mouth as you can and pull their head around one direction until their nose touches your knee on that side. Moat horses can't run or buck with their head pulled around like that, so it is a good way to stop them. Once you get her stopped, back her up. A lot. Backing is a good benign punishment for horses because it is a form of submission for them, and they really don't like doing it. Do this every time she bucks. Hope this helps! Every horse is different though, so let me know if it doesn't and we can try something different!

Nightmare

Is your horse just not going forwards? Or is he not listening at all? I would suggest getting a small riding crop and tapping the horse's shoulder firmly a lot, while encouraging him forwards at the same time. I'm sure he is being stubborn. A lot of horses like to test their rider's skills and experience like that. Ask your riding instructor for some tips and ask about the horse's normal personality. If he is always stubborn, you may want to use spurs. My Mustang Hooty is a lot like this, so I usually wear some small knobby spurs with her- nothing too harsh, just a little extra encouragement!

by: Curly kid

Hi Winnie! I recently got a horse and I love him but he still needs some training. My instructor is an old west kinda horse person, you know self-inflicted pain kinda stuff. Well she’s nice but I prefer natural horsemanship. Next time she punishes my horse (okay, so what she does is she shows me how I "should" punish him). What should I do? Should I stop her?

Help me!

P.S. my horse has never used a bit and before I got him he used a quick stop, but now I ride him with ether a halter or a bit less bridle.
Thanks!!🐎

by: epic the merp derp

So we (my family and me) are planning on moving in maybe a few months. We own 4 Halflingers (two mares, two geldings). I own one of them, her name is Laura B but we call her Mack cause she is a giant for a halflinger. I can't ride her though, she's 31+ years which is why I love her breed. She still has a lot of life left though.

I would love to adopt a gelding that I can ride. And after some searching, I have found a good horse rescue in Idaho with some good geldings and mares for adopting. There is a 9-year old gelding available, only problem is that there isn't any description for many of the horses so I don't know what his personality is like and I don't know if he is ride-able.

I'm not asking you guys if he is a good horse, all I'm asking is if you have any adoption tips?

starstarstarstarstar 		THANK YOU, WINNIE!
by: Horse Charmer

Dear Winnie,

I have just finished reading all the books in your series in a period of about two months. They are all so good and have a lot of helpful information in them.

My family owns two horses: Dream and Baylie. We got Dream first, and when Baylie came along, Dream became the boss mare and ultimately began to try and boss me around. I could not think of anything to do to help show Dream I was in charge until I read your books.

Then, using your techniques I began working Dream, playing with her, not letting her get away with anything, and just spending a lot of time with her. I could not push her too hard because just a few weeks after we got her, she was injured and became lame on her left foreleg. Even the little I have done with her, Dream is now a much better horse.

Thank you! You helped so much! Recently, we were helping someone on their ranch and when they asked us to put fly repellent on some of the horses, they then said it was okay not to get them all because some of them were skittish.

My sister and I were able to fly spray all the horses and mules except for one. Later the woman called my sister and I "horse charmers" and "miracle workers." I am on my way to horse gentling. Yeah! Thank you, Winnie!

Godspeed,
Horse Charmer

starstarstarstarstar 		To HORSE LOVER
by: Slorider

I totally agree with MKrider. But really the absolute best thing to feed your horse is hay and let your horse graze. A horse's digestive system is designed to graze a lot and so it doesn't need much more. But I would recommend feeding hay too.

I would avoid grains and oats if possible because a horse is MUCH more prone to colic when it has been eating a lot of grain. But if your horse needs extra supplements and a vet has said so then feed your horse some grain or vitamins or whatever is required along side of grass and hay.

Hope this is helpful :-)

starstarstarstarstar 		what to feed a horse
by: MKrider

-fresh water
-hay or grass of 1-2% of their body weight
-oats and other grains (make sure you're feeding your horse the right amount)
-some horses need supplements so it's good to figure out if your horse needs any additional vitamins or things like that

I'm not Winnie but I do have some advice.

I once lived beside someone who had a horse and I then visited it everyday at the same time (once my parents were gone and we weren't allowed out of the house.) I saw the horse prancing near the fence at the same place where I go to see him.

All you have to do is visit your horse regularly and spend about 20 min with your horse (or more).

I have read TONS of horse fiction and this series is by far the best I have ever read!

The main character is likable but not perfect, which is great, and the other characters are so unique. It's also more realistic then most horse books. (The girl and horse don't form an immediate bond, Winnie earns it through hard work and dedication.) And at the end they don't go on to win a huge show.(That happens at the end of a lot of horse books and that could send the message that horses are only for winning ribbons.)

Thanks for reading my review!

by: parents

Dear Winnie,

My mom wont let me get a horse unless i get enough money for it. How do i earn fast money???

Reply from Sydney at HorseCrazyGirls.com

Owning a horse can be very expensive I know. And it's really, really hard when you don't have the money to pay for one. I got Sinatra when I was 14 and I felt like I waited forever!

Are you old enough to get a job at a barn, even if it's just cleaning out stalls, grooming or whatever the barn needs? That may be one way to at least get some money for riding lessons. You could also ask your mom whether you could do a half lease on someone else's horse to get a feel for what owning one is like.

I'd love to hear ideas from other girls how they were able to afford their horses.

Hello, Winnie. I really want a horse and the one I want is abused. Well, at least I think so he has nothing to do on the wire fence and has an old owner that does nothing with him. Oh and what do nickers and whinny's sound like? Last thing I want a horse my parents won't let me please help me.

Dear Winnie,

I don't own a horse, but I would love to own one. One problem, I don't know which one to choose. I would like to have one that is small like a Shetland pony, but I heard they are mean. I would also like her or him to be nice since I have siblings. Please help me out.

starstarstarstarstar 		I Have Two Problems With My Horse
by: Hannah

Hello, Winnie, my name is Hannah and I have two problems with my Appaloosa, Comet. The first one is that, when I lunge him he won't go clockwise. He'll go counter clockwise easily but when I try to go the other way he turns around. I've tried having someone run beside and go that way but he won't do it by himself. The second problem is that it usually takes me about an hour to catch him. Over the years, he has gotten harder and harder to catch. Food doesn't work anymore and he won't let me round him up to the barn. I want to try just going out there several times a day and catching him and then letting him go but it takes to much time and I can only see him on the weekends. Help me please!

by: Zion

Well, it's a series and I think my favorite is the first "Wild Thing" It's an awesome book! It's about this 12 year old girl named Winnie Willis who works at this stable for The Spidells who are the worst! And she is the only one who can get this white arabian to listen. But the Spidells keep hurting the horse. And it breaks Winnie's heart so she decides to do something about it.

by: Anonymous

I love this series!!! It's by Dandi Daley Mackall, author of Horsefeathers. It's a christian book series that's taught me a lot. In the ending of the first one I began to cry. But back then I was 9. There are a total of eight books in this series, each one with a problem horse. The first one is how she gets her horse. In the end I began to cry because her and hr dad don't really have a relationship, her mom died two years ago.

THIS IS A HAVE-TO-READ HORSE BOOK SERIES!!! I LLOOOOVVVEEE IT!!!!!!!!!!!
