Jill And The Perfect Pony

First published Hodder, 1949. Jill has always wanted a pony and when Farmer Clay offers her a piebald at a knockdown price, she jumps at the offer. The author was always a pony fan and created the first ever series of pony books

A ten-year-old girl relates her experiences as she and her pony train and prepare for riding competitions.

"Last night I finished reading your Jill and the Lost Ponies. I can honestly say that It is one of the best sequels I’ve read... I love the way you tie in previous events from the Jill books and the way you weave the various characters into the plot. I love the way Jill talks to the reader, the comments she makes and the language she uses, because they are all so “Jill-like” and feel authentic to such an extent that it really feels as if RF is actually writing it... Thank you for a wonderful book." (Kate) "I read Jill and the Lost Ponies, and it was brilliant, thank you! It completely brought Jill back. I haven't enjoyed anything that much for a long time." (Helen) In Ruby Ferguson's Pony Jobs for Jill, Captain Cholly-Sawcutt told Jill and Ann to put ponies aside as a hobby and go and do a shorthand course. I always wondered what would happen if they went off and did just that. And so in this sequel to the Jill books, set in the 1950s, we find Jill and Ann are at a London secretarial college, doing what they've been told to do. WIth ponies left firmly behind them. Or so they think.

Annie can hardly wait until Surprise, Jill′s one-month-old foal, is big enough to ride. But when Annie falls off Splash during a riding lesson, the rattled Pony Scout has to decide whether or not to get back in the saddle. Features read-to-me audio, perfect for sharing.

You mean...you've bought this pony? Alex's sister Kate cannot believe what he's done. Alex thought he was solving lots of problems buying a pony at the local auction. So he's in for a shock when he realizes he's now the owner of Puzzle, a filthy, thin and abused pony. But worse is to come, for Puzzle is in such a state, she may have to be put down.
