Tilly’s best friend teases her that she lives on Planet Pony and it’s fair to say she’s obsessed with horses.
When she comes across a horse, list and distressed, Tilly is the first to help, even though her only experience of horses is through her pony magazines. But she has a natural gift for horse whispering and she can calm the horse down when no one else can.
So begins a special relationship between Tilly and Magic Spirit as she names the horse, and a chance to start helping at the local riding stables too. Tilly’s adventures will be a dream come true for many young Planet Pony readers and they’ll love everything about this series.
The first in a series of heart-warming pony tales packed with expert advice from three-times Olympic Medallist and Grand Slam winner, Pippa Funnell, on everything you ever wanted to know about horses.
