Lara and the Moon-Colored Filly

This early chapter book, the second in the Hoofbeats series, follows Lara, a brave young girl in historical Ireland, as she navigates a perilous situation. Captured by a rival clan, Lara's primary focus is the safety of her extraordinary moon-colored filly, Dannsair. The story explores themes of courage, loyalty, and the powerful bond between a girl and her horse, all set against a backdrop of adventure and a touch of magic. It's suitable for independent readers in early elementary grades and a wonderful read-aloud for younger children who love horses and tales of bravery.

Captured by members of another Irish clan, Lara continues to protect the young filly, Dannsair, and ponders how they might escape together.
