"This book is funny and exciting. Beautifully portrays both the pleasures and risks of riding horses and also of being a teen. Very original, and a great pleasure to read." —Jane Smiley, Pulitzer Prize-winning author
 
"A book of exceptional wit and heart, a rare and dangerous combination. Seim clears every jump with grace." —Matthew Aldrich, screenwriter of Disney/Pixar's Coco

"From the deliciously zippy dialogue to the hilarious misadventures of a sassy equestrian misfit (who among us didn't plot a 'Grand Theft Equine' of our favorite pony?) and her equine accomplices, Carrie Seim perfectly captures what it means to be a true 'HORSE GIRL' circa-now -- and always." —Sarah Maslin Nir, staff reporter, The New York Times, and author of Horse Crazy: The Story of a Woman and a World in Love with an Animal

"Horse Girl had my daughter enthralled. Carrie Seim's writing is both funny and poignant. She spins a heartwarming tale of 'finding your forever herd' that will connect with kids and families of all kinds. There's even an awkward dad character. (Ahem.) No comment." —Dana Gould, writer/co-executive producer of The Simpsons

"Horse Girl really captures a horse lover's imagination with its spirited story and girl talk. What a great idea and a fun read."—Soledad O'Brien, Peabody-award winning broadcast journalist, author, and executive producer
 
"A fun story of fitting in, [with a] relatable preteen voice and story line." —School Library Journal
