A new friend helps Meg to realise that appearances aren’t always what they seem in this exciting new addition to Tanya Landman’s delightful horse-riding series.

When Meg and Merlin go to the local horse show they enter the Handy Pony class – a fun test of how well horse and rider work together. Meg is looking forward to it until stuck-up Sam Houseman – a girl from school – rides into the ring. Meg’s day seems ruined. But then she discovers that people, like ponies, can sometimes be very surprising …

Particularly suitable for readers aged 7+ with a reading age of 7.

"Short and sweet, it is filled with smiles, bravery, determination and the friendships that can come from the most surprising of places" – The Reading Jackdaw, NetGalley review
