How to Love a Pony

A rhymed Beginner Book about a young girl and her pony, perfect for animal-lovers and budding equestrians!

Meet Lily, a seven-year-old girl who lives with her parents, grandparents, and two brothers on their horse farm in the country. Lily has a Welsh pony that she adores, and in this charming Beginner Book, we see how Lily and her family work together to care for the pony throughout the changing seasons of the year. With vibrant illustrations, this is the kind of story that young riders—or kids who dream of riding—will want to read over and over!
