About the author
Canadian author Adelaide Leitch’s books were mostly about her native Canada, but she did write one children’s horse story, The Blue Roan (1971). She is an author about whom I’ve been able to find out remarkably little, so if you can help, do please get in touch.
Finding the book
Can be tricky to find, but not necessarily expensive when it does turn up.

Roddy thinks that if he owns a horse, he’ll finally be somebody. Unfortunately, when he does buy a horse, it’s a games horse who’s completely gone off the idea, and although Boots the horse wins competitions, he becomes progressively nastier.
