The Sandy Lanes stables series - previously published in paperback - is now part of the Usborne Reading Programme. Sitting above Young Reading Series Three, Young Reading Plus is for fully confident, independent readers who still need lots of practice in order to build their reading stamina and vocabulary.
Alex is shocked to realise he's now the owner of Puzzle, a filthy, thin and abused pony. He thought he'd solve all his problems by buying a pony at a local auction. Puzzle is in such a state, she may have to be put down... This story of loyalty and friendship from the Usborne Young Reading Programme is ideal for newly independent readers.
Susannah Leigh has been pony mad ever since she can remember. She first started riding lessons when she was eight years old, at East Farm Stables in Hertfordshire. Although she never had a pony of her own, the friends she made and the ponies she rode at East Farm would become the inspiration for Sandy Lane Stables.
