I’ve been trying to figure out what this book is…it’s stuck with me for years. I read it in the late 80s/early 90s in my school library. I think it might have had moon in the title. It was about a girl who had a figurine of a horse that turned real at night (maybe in the moonlight?). She rode it at night. It was a pretty typical girl with a horse book but what was really shocking/scandalizing when I read it is she had a male friend named Goddard (the name stuck with me! Lol) and she and Goddard end up having sex in a tunnel or something? Which seemed SO out of left field for what was otherwise a pretty standard middle grade girl-with-magical-horse book.
