I have been a riding instructor for over 30 years. This is a great little book. It gives children the insite into really caring for, understanding, loving and apprectiating the horses and ponies in their life even if they are just plastic horses.

I recently purchased a half dozen books to give to my new riding students as a welcome gift when they take their first lesson. A great way to help get them started into the wonderful world of horses.

This book has been around pretty much as long as I have and I have been teaching children to ride for more than 30 years. The text is easy to read and the illustrations are wonderful, but best of all its written from the pony's point of view. I have given countless copies of this book to students over the years and it remains as relevant and informative as the first time I ever picked it up.

I received this book when I was 7 (I'm now 23) years old before starting lessons for the first time. It has remained one of my most beloved childhood memories and favorite book. A MUST have for all young riders and those who are young at heart!

I am a beginning adult rider and I absolutely loved this book, it is funny and helpful on all levels for beginners. I think all new riders should read it!

My husband and I were referred to this book by our riding instructor. We are both grown adults, but have no real horse experience. Even though this book seems to be geared toward children, it is very helpful for the adults who may not want to admit how little they know!!! This book answere all those questions you think may be too silly to ask your teacher! It's great for all ages!
