I loved the movie War Horse. Before that movie I think it's safe to say that many people didn't really think about what happened with or to the horses in WWII. While it was an incredible story of fiction, there is no doubt that it contained many truths as well. My 13 year old loves horses and she begged me to let her see War Horse when it came out. I felt that it was too much at that time. Now she's going to be studying WWII this year and I think this book and that movie are an excellent supplement. While War Horse was based in WWI, the premise was still the same. There were horses that were killed for little more than food or because they were worked to death. I've watched a Lippizaner performance locally and they are magnificent creatures. I think this book as so much value and I can't wait for my daughter to read it.
