Buttons is the newest arrival at Silver Shoe Farm and though he’s a lovely little pony and clearly very smart, he’s a real mischief. He always makes it hard for his owner Tim to catch him and kicks out when anyone tries to put his saddle on. And he’s upsetting the other ponies and horses.
With the skills she’s learned at the stables and her own special affinity with horses, Tilly can bring about some improvements to Buttons’ behaviour, but it’s the stable owner’s dad Jack who works out what’s really bothering this little pony.
Pippa Funnell’s series is a real treat for young readers, especially those with a love for horses. Not only are the stories full of excitement, humour and the camaraderie of working together, but they contain fascinating information about horse and pony behaviour; it’s as though we are all helping out at Silver Shoe alongside Tilly and her friends.
Tilly dreams of having a pony of her own. One that only she can ride to stardom. Will her wishes come true when she joins Silver Shoe Farm Stables?
Oh Buttons, what a naughty pony! He’s disobedient for everyone at Silver Shoe Farm, until he meets Tilly. She has some clever ideas for turning this tricky pony into a happy pony.
