Reception

Critical reception for the book was mixed. Booklist wrote that the book's portrayal of horses was one of its highlights, but that "the author's shifting focus makes it hard to decide just who the protagonist is". The School Library Journal also gave a mostly positive review, stating that the book was "satisfying, though perhaps somewhat contrived".
