Born to Trot

Born to Trot
by: Marguerite Henry

This book is about Gibson White son of Benjamin Franklin and Rosalind the world's Champion trotting mare with a time of 1:56¾ .Gibson always wanted to trot, and the first chance he get he becomes sick and is sent to the hospital. That is when he starts to read One Men's Horse a story inside Born to Trot. One Man's Horse is about a horse named Hambletonian (Rosalind is his direct descendant), and how every one mocked him. That is why Rysdyk asked to pay for him. Rysdyk was a hired man with low wage, so he spent all his savings on the horse (I would go on but then I start to give the book away).

This is a great book for someone who just started reading. It has nice big spaced out print, with lots of photos. I liked it a lot, and it's a true story! I did have a little problem getting in to the book, so it's not my favorite. But I recommend this book to the horse lover who just started reading.
