Joey and the other horses, are only mildly personified. It’s not fantasy, exactly: the horse isn’t talking and it’s basically realistic except that we can see into the mind of the horse (and the horse understands human language very, very well). The rest of the short book is a series of whip-fast transitions as Joey is sold to the war effort, changes hands several times, and the boy looks for him. Bought by a drunk meanie, he is taken home to a teenage boy who really falls for him and names him Joey. (Now we’re on strike two.) It’s WW1 (okay, I’m listening), in England (even better), and a colt goes up on the auction block. (Strike one for me, personally, but I am aware that many readers love horses, so this is a draw.)
