They might be a bit old for a seven year old, but I loved the Jinny and Shantih series by Patricia Leitch when I was a child. Magical stories set in the wilds of scotland, not prim and gymkhanaish but really exciting and romantic.

I read the Pullein Thompson books. I think there were a couple of sisters. Still remember the Silver Brumby series.

The Pony Camp Diaries series is very good. Nice writing, lots of techy stuff and aimed squarely at 7/8/9 year olds.

Please avoid Katie Price's perfect ponies unless you like hearing little girls call other little girls 'cows' and appreciate having a link to Katie's adult website on the inside front cover

omg

have goosebumps

Fly by Night by KM Peyton is on that Fidra list

[mistlethrush]

I was horse mad as a child. I loved this series (description from Wikipedia):

"The Silver Brumby series is a collection of children's books by Australian author Elyne Mitchell. They recount the life and adventures of Thowra, a magnificent pale palomino brumby stallion, and his descendants, and are set in the Snowy Mountains region of Australia."

Also Rosina Copper is a magical book (by Kitty Barne) - sort of a Black Beauty brought upto date in a way...

[NorksDrift]

these people publish old favourites as well.(not pony stories)

[RosaLuxembourg]

I want Gay from China at the Chalet School.
