readingjag's review against another edition

In yet another of my "read over and over as a kid and lost but now found" review series, I bring you Summer Pony. In this amazing book, a young girl's parents rent a pony for her for one summer. They go to a totally run down farm where 20 ponies are being kept in horrible conditions (which in a story today would culminate in the farm owner being charged with animal cruelty, but whatever it was the 70s). She chooses a shabby, dirty, neglected pony with two different colored eyes and then proceeds to be the BEST PONY OWNER EVER.
I hate to spoil this for you because it's some serious non-stop action and drama. PONY DRAMA, people. It really doesn't get much better than this if you are an 8 year old in 1985.

This was a childhood favorite that I re-read many times. I never got a pony, though.

One of the more realistic children's horse books. I love Jean Slaughter Doty!
