Enjoyed
It was so great to read this again! My sister owned this book and then passed it along to me. A good story based on the true story of the thoroughbred, Exterminator.
I had this book when I was a child and rereading it brought back so many wonderful memories.
I had never heard of Old Bones (Exterminator) until I saw this book. I thought it was very well written, a good read about a very special horse with heart.
I read the original book many times when I was a kid. When I saw it listed here I just HAD to get it in form and reread it. Well worth doing so. Exterminator (Old Bones) was a thoroughly wonderful thoroughbred and I've always enjoyed his story. Underdogs don't always lose.
I first read this book when I was a kid and I was amazed then that the story of this incredible horse was not known. Here it is decades later and I'm still amazed. If you love horses and have even a mild interest in horse racing history, you need to read this book.
What an absolutely marvelous story about a truly exceptional horse! One of my tutoring students and I came to love this intelligent and gifted animal as we read through each page, rejoicing and mourning with him as events unfolded. Can a horse be keenly intelligent, kind, and generous? Read and find out!
