Truth in transition

The book deals with how first appearances and impressions are deceitful when it comes to horses as well as friends.
The first 60 pages are slow. Not much happening in the story, mostly setting of how the trio of horses came to be in the barn. But that's too long in a 140 page book to expect the reader to remain hooked without promise. But once over that bump, the story gallops.
The title is clumsy.
