Book Description:
A gripping journey of a young girl and a foal who are raised together in The Valley of Hearts Delight. Gallant and Gracie have a special bond, rarely seen between a human and a horse. Separated by a bad accident when Gallant is five, each gets a second chance of happiness pursuing the long-distance sport of endurance riding, neither knowing they are leading parallel lives. Will Fate bring them together again? Gallant’s arch nemesis, The Almighty Flash, threatens to destroy all that Gallant has worked for. His misguided ambition and greed, developed at the hands of an abusive owner, has created a darkness in his soul that turns to blind fury when his endurance career is threatened.

MY THOUGHTS ON THIS BOOK
Gallant: The Call of the Trail by Claire Eckard is about Gracie and her horse Gallant. The two grew up together but was separated due to an awful accident. It's so sweet that later the two were reunited and we follow their journey.
This is such a good story for young girls to read. I plan to gift this to my niece who loves to read. Gallant is the most precious horse, and I love the inaction between Gallant and Gracie. Eckard does such a good job describing Gallant's personality and I love the scenes with the horse and little girl. This story is so much fun exiting to read. Not only will Young girls love this one, adults will too. I encourage you to check out this book if you have a tween or teen girl in your family. This book would make a fantastic Christmas gift, and a lasting one that your child can read over and over.
