Description

It is wartime, and Jean Leslie has had to leave school – not something that she regrets for one moment.

But will Jean have to sell one of her beloved ponies? Wartime means animal feed is expensive and hard to find. Jean’s father has joined the Army, and the family don’t have as much money. Two ponies are more than they can afford.

After a chance encounter with a child who has been bought a pony she can’t ride, Jean finds herself with a pupil. And so, as more children clamour for tuition, Jean starts a riding school with her friend Judy – perhaps this will be the way she can save her ponies.

This book was written during World War II, and it reflects the attitudes and laws of the time, when hunting was legal.
