Darcy

Ireland, 1917. Darcy is a light gray Connemara pony with silver dapples. She’s fast and tough, whether she’s pulling a load of peat from the bog or riding around the rugged countryside with Shannon McKenna, her human family’s eldest daughter. But when Mrs. McKenna needs a doctor, Darcy discovers a skill that will change her and her family’s life forever. Like “Black Beauty, ” this moving novel is told in first person from the horse’s point of view and includes an appendix full of photos and facts about Connemara ponies and Irish history.
