Huh. I think I remember reading it (or another book in the series) while I was ten or eleven or so, but your plot synopsis rings no bells at all. Might be because the books were mentioned all over the place during the early 80s, and I somehow formed the impression that I had read them.

Or it might have been some other horsey book.

You may be confusing it with the other classic horse book, _Black Beauty_. Whose synopsis is indeed quite different.

No, it's not that one either.
