I don't normally care for books written from an animal's perspective but quite enjoyed this. At times I would have liked to have seen more of the wider world view, and more emotional connection (sometimes the horse point of view felt too limited) but overall it was well done. The story follows Joey the horse from his farm in England, to being conscripted for the war effort, and then during the war years in France. The ending was a little predictable but probably well suited for the audience (which I believe is early YA?). I liked seeing the war from the horse's perspective and wasn't aware they were used so much - on both sides. An easy, non-taxing listen with a good narrator.
