Cedar Series: Short series set in the world of trotting/harness racing.
1) RED HORSE HILL (HARCOURT, BRACE & CO [USA] 1930) ILLUSTRATED BY LEE TOWNSEND Reprinted in hardback SUMMARY: Orphan Bud Martin works in the trucking stables where his father had been a driver. There he looks after the lightning fast roan colt, Cedar, and hopes for victory in the championship cutter races of New Hampshire
2) CEDAR'S BOY (HARCOURT, BRACE & CO [USA] 1949) ILLUSTRATED BY LEE TOWNSEND Reprinted in hardback SUMMARY: Sequel continuing Bud and Cedar's story.
Collector's Info: Although many of the author's books are hard to find, these horse stories are, luckily for us pony book enthusiasts, not amongst his rarest titles. Both of these are fairly easy to find in the USA, although Cedar's Boy may be expensive with its jacket. They are harder to track down in the UK and may be more expensive.
