A Good Horse by Jane Smiley

A Good Horse is a wonderful book. 8th grader Abby Lovitt has always known being on her family's ranch, riding and taking care of her dad's horses, is the perfect place for her, but when a letter comes in the mail, things start to get crazy on the Lovitt Ranch, and her family may have to give up not one, not two, not three, but four of her favorite horses, including Black Jack, her beloved colt. I loved A Good Horse and would highly recommend it to girls ages 11-14. It was 246 pages long. Happy Reading, Little New Yorker's littler sister who would much rather be on a ranch!
