Patricia Leitch - Jinny and Shantih

[Jax]

I read the whole series of these books when I was a kid and I loved them. It made me really want an Arab horse. As an adult, I have painstakingly gathered the whole series courtesy of Amazon and re-read them. I love the mystical element to them that suggest that she was meant to get Shantih and they serve some spiritual purpose. Although I think my favourite book in the series is Jump for the Moon, I remember almost crying my heart out the first time I read it at the prospect of Jinny having to give her beloved horse up and gasping at the fantastic jumping round she did at the end! Also love Horse in a Million where she wipes the floor with Clare Burnley at the Inverburgh show. Haha!
Does anyone else remember these books?

I remember reading them all when I was younger, though I must say my favourite book written by Leitch was The Black Loch.

There was a discussion a couple of years ago on the Jinny series, though unfortunately most of the participants have left now, but you may wish to have a read anyway
