He was...thrilled. ;-)Ami im Schwabenlandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13148291164062226269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8775665740005660017.post-38698232930321738932016-05-25T16:33:50.866+02:002016-05-25T16:33:50.866+02:00Oh I'd never heard of that author - will have ...Oh I'd never heard of that author - will have to check it out!!

It was the first book that ever made me cry.<br /><br />I inherited a book called "A Pony for Two" from my step mum but I can't for the life of me remember what it was about! Was that the one where the children's pony is kidnapped and they have to rescue her or was that a different one?!bevchenhttp://confuzzledom.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8775665740005660017.post-33594358163461745292016-05-23T13:37:50.080+02:002016-05-23T13:37:50.080+02:00They were both American authors with a somewhat li...They were both American authors with a somewhat limited readership, so I'm not terribly surprised you hadn't heard of them. I entered the horsey stage and never left it - took riding lessons for years (and am taking them again now). Daughter took lessons, too, and we leased a horse for her for several years. Which horse books do you remember reading (surely Black Beauty!?)?Ami im Schwabenlandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13148291164062226269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8775665740005660017.post-62434538060141432732016-05-23T09:33:58.825+02:002016-05-23T09:33:58.825+02:00I have never heard of either of those authors, alt...I have never heard of either of those authors, although I read a lot of horse books when I was younger. I think most girls go through a horsey stage :-) I begged for riding lessons for about 2 years but never got them.bevchenhttp://confuzzledom.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
