When Meg and Merlin go to the local horse show they enter the Handy Pony class - a fun test of how well horse and rider work together. Meg is looking forward to it until stuck-up Sam Houseman - a girl from school - rides into the ring. Meg's day seems ruined. But then she discovers that people, like ponies, can sometimes be very surprising ...

"Short and sweet, it is filled with smiles, bravery, determination and the friendships that can come from the most surprising of places" -- The Reading Jackdaw, NetGalley review
"A lovely and beautiful read about the unexpected friendship between two young equestrians!...A charming story with a lot of heart.-- NetGalley review
