Pony stories

[isolatedetonate]

I loved reading pony stories when I was young like A devil to ride and Jill's gymkana - can anyone recommend any more recent ones I can share with my DC?

I brought all the old Jill ones from eBay for my 10 year old DD - she loved them. There must be more recent ones though - DD couldn’t get over a horse costing £40 or whatever it was!

I LOVED the Jill books and read them all again and again. Another favourite in a similar style was was 'A Pony at Blackbird Cottage' by Jo Furminger. It's out of print but still available second hand on amazon.

Ooh looks like I am off to eBay to spend money on second hand books! Thank you

While you're ensuing, but not modern

What age are you thinking for?

DD(10) enjoyed The Racehorse who wouldn't Gallop and the two others in the series.

Also enjoyed Snow Foal.

Black Beauty
The Midnight Horse
The Silver Brumby series
Nobody's Horse

Depending on age, Stacy Gregg?

I second Stacey Gregg.

Plus there is a series by Pippa Funnell.

I loved loved loved the Jill books. I also loved the Saddle Club series.

I read the Jinny books as well - by Patricia Leitch I think.

I loved Jinny and the Saddle Club as a kid!

All the Jinny books. There are odd interesting details when you re-read as an adult (ie - the family are total 70s hippies).

I loved 'The House at World's End' by Monica Dickens.

I've just ordered Jinny books off Amazon! 😂

I loved Follyfoot back in the day! Though I wasn’t into horses at all then (or I didn’t think I was - maybe that was what sowed the seed ).

DD is 7.

I can't wait to reread the Jinny books. Parts of them come into my head regularly...

I loved the Saddle Club series as a child.

There's a whole series of new Jill books, by Jemma Spark which follow Jill's life into adulthood as she takes up eventing - they are ok, but don't really capture the character of the originals.

But there is a new series starting, by Jane Badger, which feels much closer to the original books. www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B089KS7YRD/ref=dp-kindle-redirect?_encoding=UTF8&btkr=1&tag=mumsnetforu03-21

I can recommend 'Ned Gets Worried' which you can get on Amazon. It's about a little pony who gets anxious and his big police horse friend who helps him through.

I can recommend a sweet picture book called "Ned Gets Worried" which helps children manage anxieties through a gentle, beautifully illustrated story. You can get it on Amazon.
