The topic came up over conversation today with friends. The only juvenile horse story I've ever read is "Misty of Chincoteague", which I read two years ago because I was actually going to visit Chincoteague. It was VERY boring. The boy and girl love wild horses, so they save up money and, with the help of good corraling skills, manage to buy a horse. The End.

Why do some girls *loooove* these stories? Why are there so many writers dedicated to such a specific genre? I'm interested from an anthropologist view--it's like a mysterious fantasy world full of alien appeals, and those appeals are completely lost on me.
