Description
A wild pony, a stubborn princess, and a young girl with a heart full of dreams. A heart-warming pony adventure for children aged 6-11
When a young farmer's daughter discovers a magnificent wild pony roaming free, she wonders how she can ever befriend the wild beast.
People say the pony is impossible to tame, yet Franny can ride her with no bridle or saddle whatsoever!
But when the kingdom's spoilt princess learns a farmer's daughter is riding the regal-looking steed, she becomes enraged with jealousy.
The princess wants the pony, and Franny is powerless to stop her.
Will the princess's selfish demands separate The Girl and her Pony forever, or will the power of unbridled friendship overcome jealousy once and for all?
"A must read for any child who has ever dreamed of owning their own pony."
From the Publisher:
Q1 -- Who is this book perfect for?
A1 - Young readers aged 6-9 who dream of ponies, love gentle adventure, and crave short chapters they can tackle on their own -- or enjoy as a cosy read-aloud with a grown-up.
Q2 -- What makes Franny and her pony special?
A2 - Franny is a big-hearted farm girl who meets a spirited chestnut she calls Sonnet. Their friendship is built on patience and trust, modelling the kind, partnership-first horsemanship parents appreciate.
Q3 -- Will my child learn anything from the story?
A3 - Absolutely. Themes of empathy, self-belief, and standing up for what's right are woven through every gallop -- without heavy-handed lessons or scary scenes.
Q4 -- Is it safe for bedtime or classroom reading?
A4 - Yes. Moments of tension stay age-appropriate, language is clean, and the feel-good ending leaves kids inspired rather than anxious. Great for book clubs, horse camps, or winding down after a busy day.
Q5 -- Do we need to start with another title first?
A5 - No. The Girl and Her Pony opens the Magical Adventures & Pony Tales series and reads beautifully as a stand-alone. If your child gallops through it, there are more pony adventures waiting.
Q6 -- Who wrote it -- and why trust her horse facts?
A6 - Angharad Thompson Rees is a author-illustrator and lifelong horsewoman. Her real-world equestrian know-how brings every canter, whinny, and braid to life with authenticity and heart.
