Bandoleer (Seaton Trilogy #3)
by Dorothy Potter BenedictFrom the Book: Pagan the Black was determined that his offspring would be born free. And so he was. On the side of a mountain on a bed of soft pine needles, Sunrise the mare gave birth to the colt Bandoleer. This birth also marked a turning point in the lives of Sandy and Mistie Seaton. As Bandoleer grew into a fine spirited horse, untamed by human hands, Sandy and Mistie passed from childhood into the world of adults. And when the time came for Bandoleer to trust man and acknowledge his power, so Sandy was also ready to accept the responsibilities of manhood. In the end it was an act of courage on the part of Bandoleer that forced the young man to admit his true feelings for Mistie. This fine novel by the author of Pagan the Black and Fabulous brings to a conclusion the story which she started with her two previous books. Although complete in its own right it is also the last of a trilogy. Mrs. Benedict takes the reader back to a familiar setting: the Seaton ranch in Montana. Pagan and Fabulous still play an important part in this story, and the heroic conclusion of Pagan's life as set forth in the last pages of this book will not be forgotten by any reader.

Java Jive
by Dorothy LyonsEven though her family kept telling her they couldn't afford to buy a horse, it didn't prevent Ginny Atkins from dreaming about owning one, especially since there was an old corral that came with their new home in California. And the miracle did happen when a Morgan that had strayed out of its own pasture came into the corral. Ginny was allowed to keep Sugar on loan, because Sugar's original owner was grown up and the mare was kept for sentimental reasons only, but Ginny had to prove to her father that she could be thoughtful and reliable, not just a scatterbrain. Then came the wonderful day when Sugar foaled-- and there was Java Jive, a perfect colt, for Ginny to raise and train as her very own! Trail-riding, Gymkhana shows, and hard work to earn money to keep Java gave Ginny a busy time, but eventually her patience was rewarded when Java proved his worth during the terrors of a California earthquake. Dorothy Lyons' previous books, such as Blue Smoke, Golden Sovereign, and Midnight Moon, have won for her a special place among writers of horse stories. Young readers everywhere will welcome Ginny Atkins and her colt, Java Jive.
