Pocomoto Pony Express Rider is an American pony story so it has a strong cowboy feel that I loved.

A Devil to Ride (Jinny, #2) | Patricia Leitch
post image

A Devil to Ride by Patricia Leitch is the second book in the Jinny pony books series. I really loved the Jinny books when I was a child. They are so different to traditional pony books.

Loved seeing Shaitun, the Black stallion‘s son, sent to America and his new owner's struggles in training him.

TheSpineView Great review! I read all these books growing up. BTW, there was no such thing as Natural Horsemanship when this book was written. 2y
johncadams @TheSpineView Agreed! So interesting to see how horse training methods have changed for the better. Thank you for reading my review! 2y

Flambards by KM Peyton is a children‘s book set in the run up to World War One. I loved it growing up because I lived in Essex, where the book is set.

A Pony of Your Own | Mary GERVAISE

This is one of my favourite pony books. It's unusual because it's a crossover between boarding-school story and pony story.

Readers just love the Jinny pony books and this is the first one. Will Jinny ever recapture Shantih?
