Oh, this story is so cute. And may I say it is more helpful in answering my question of horse speed than the internet.
The title really says all that you need to know, there is a blind horse and this is the book about him. ( )

I couldn't get enough of these as a child. I really loved horse stories like these where the girl and the horse work together to get better and win a show. This was a very quick read. Wonderful illustration. ( )

The Blind Connemara by C.W. Anderson is a moving tale of a young girl and her love of a white connemara pony. This pony is experiencing increasing blindness and is in danger of possibly being “put away” as the story goes. The little girl Rhonda has a big heart and is with the pony every step of the way through the difficulties. She ends up being a part of the pony’s recovery and ends up being able to own him in the end. What a touching and wonderful (and long) easy reading chapter book. It truly is a classic tale for those young horse lovers! ( )

Rhonda is given the chance at owning a pony of her own when one of the loveliest ponies in the stable goes blind. With time and trust, the pair turn heads in 4-H horse shows, and inspire a whole school full of crippled children.

Anderson's illustrations are the strongest part of this slight story, but it's heartwarming and a childhood favorite of mine. ( )
