Description
The pony was so poor that although she still had her thick winter coat Sandy could have counted all her ribs. The knobs of her backbone stuck up like a ridge and the bones of her quarters were huge and angular under her harsh skin.
Sandy loves riding, even though she lives in a town and rides through the urban streets aren’t the most thrilling thing she’s ever done. Now she’s moving to the country, and she’s getting a present: at last, a pony. And she starts living the dream, trying out ponies, wondering if this one will be the one for her – but none of them are.
Then she meets Tarka, skin and bone after a cold winter out. Sandy has to save her. She buys Tarka, but that’s when the dream starts to go wrong. Tarka is very sick; so sick she might die. Can Sandy and Tarka win through?
Note: hunting was legal when this book was written, and there is a hunting scene in it.
