Re: Based on #9

When I was a Girl Scout Summer Camp counselor, one of the girls in my cabin had Howliday Inn and I read it one afternoon during our down time. It impressed me so much, I wound up buying the first three in the series.

I remember reading a lot of Greco-Roman myths as a child, as well as the Tizz a Pony series, pretty much anything by Walter Farley (or horse books in general), any of the collie series by Terhune, the Magic series by Edgar Eager, the family Pye series...there were a lot of series, weren't there?

OMG. A Black Stallion fan! I went through a period where I read every horse book in the local library! Did you ever read King of the Wind: The Story of the Godolphin Arabian? Or Misty of Chincoteague? Or Brighty of the Grand Canyon? Let us talk about horses!

Of course!

My house has more plastic horses than it has any other thing - mostly because Mom bought me the Breyer mold of Misty for Easter one year. So, now I have about...350 Breyer/Stone/Hartland/Marx horse models, and I'm still waiting for a new one to arrive (one of Stone's 'Design It!' models).

I believe I still have King of the Wind and San Domingo: The Medicine Hat Stallion in hard cover. Marguarite Henry, right? I was racking my brain trying to think of her name when I made that first post.

:))))))) I had so many horse toys as a kid. I still have some of the statues I got for various holidays. I wish I could just buy all the books I read a child. And yep, Henry was such an awesome author.

I sold some of my Marx horses at a garage sale when I was in high school, I think. I regretted it almost immediately, but what was done, was done.

Funnily, after I got my divorce (about fifteen years after the garage sale), Mom felt bad that I didn't have those horses any more, and when she saw any of them at yard sales, she'd buy them for me. So now I have all the ones I sold, and one that got thrown away after I broke it. (Plus all the others.)

When I see something from my childhood that I had to get rid of, I have a compulsion to replace it. Which is why I now have a peculiar red plastic collie, and why I'm disappointed I still can't find one of my jointed leg horses. Those jointed horses are hard to get in decent condition!

I was so mad when I found out the truth about Misty. I had begged my Mom to stop at Chincoteague on the way home from the summer vacation to Washington DC. It was out of the way and the bargain was I has to pay for the extra gas, the toll to get over the bridge, and admission to the museum.
I remember thinking the ponies were a lot smaller than what I thought they would be. I saw a couple of Misty's decendents. The person running the center offered to let me ride one, but I said no. I had been riding horses for years and I felt I would be too heavy for the pony (I was taller than the pony by several inches).
I devoured the Thoroughbred series (hate horse racing now), one series about a ghost horse in the desert that appears to a girl, and Black Beauty. One year I got four copies of Black Beauty for Christmas from family members- they were all different (like one was the original, another was an extremely watered down version, one was based on the movie, and another Beauty was owned by a young girl for the most of it).
