Ranger, who was born
on the Kaimanawa Ranges spent his early life grazing the tussock and building his
herd – then, disaster when he was picked up in a cull of the horses and taken
far, far away. Fortunately he was
rescued by Vicki, Kelly and Amanda Wilson (well known to all young horse lovers
from the TV series) who trained him to become a star and a greatly loved member
of their team. The story is special but the illustrations bring it all together
and this will be another of those books that are loved to death.
