This
delightful little book succeeds on two levels.
It
is the story of a special summer enjoyed by a grandmother with her grandson who
shares a passion for horses.
It
captures all the excitement of preparing for the arrival of a longed-for first
pony. Not for Matt a wise schoolmaster, but a green youngster like him.
Throughout
the narrative we see them grow together. Matt shows great pluck and
determination as he embraces this challenge with enthusiasm.
Secondly,
it offers advice and tips seamlessly woven in on every page, for the new owner
or an aide memoir for anyone taking up the reins for a second time.
It
reflects the balance that can be achieved between responsibility, risk-taking
and fun. The ideal gift for a family about to embark on this adventure.
The
only unanswered question ‘ why so much pink’ and so few boys when courage and
determination is required in abundance?
