Prince Ali is the first in the Wonder Horse Books by Nancy Perez and Victoria Hardesty. I was recently given a copy to read and review. This book explores the life of an Arabian colt from his birth through to becoming a champion performance horse.
Ali is named by eight-year-old girl, Becky Howard. Her parents bred the colt. Becky is convinced his dam will have a colt and chooses a name before he is even born.
As Becky grows older, she grows up alongside this beautiful gray Arabian colt. He is her closest friend. Becky enjoys training the young horse and spending time with him. She cleans out his box and in time she also goes along to his competitions. Although he is a colt, Prince Ali is very gentle with Becky. He treats her in a way that is surprising to her parents and his trainer.
Prince Ali by Nancy Perez and Victoria Hardesty
Becky’s Arabian colt goes on an incredible journey as a young horse: competing, winning and ultimately representing horses and the Arabian breed. He does this in America and around the world.
The first in the Wonder Horse Series, Prince Ali is an entertaining book. It is also one that is bound to be enjoyed by horse fans. Ultimately it is an educational read that provides so much information about the Arabian breed. It also covers the horse industry and possible competitions in America and around the world. Highly recommended.
