    Now that everone has had a chance to read the book, let's start the discussion. Sgt Reckless was a remarkable horse. She embodied the best qualities of horses AND marines: courage, strength, and endurance. I think the author said it best when she wrote: "She was no mascot. Reckless was the real deal--an actual combat Marine."

    I learned a lot from this book. One lesson is that if you are awesome you can misbehave and people laugh at your "antics", like when she demolished the horseshoer's hut.

    She was so heroic that she makes the rest of us look bad.

    Yet another example of an awesome chestnut pony mare.

    I didn't read the book. I deal with enough chestnut mares IRL.

    They should make a movie about her. Peppa could play Sgt Reckless.

    Yes! I would be honored to play Sgt Reckless. I'll do all the snack-eating scenes myself, but I'll want a stunt double for the scary stuff.
