A new friend helps Meg to realise that appearances aren't always what they seem in this exciting new addition to Tanya Landman's delightful horse-riding series.
When Meg and Merlin go to the local horse show they enter the Handy Pony class - a fun test of how well horse and rider work together. Meg is looking forward to it until stuck-up Sam Houseman - a girl from school - rides into the ring. Meg's day seems ruined. But then she discovers that people, like ponies, can sometimes be very surprising ...
Particularly suitable for readers aged 7+ with a reading age of 7.

"This charming book is the perfect read for young horse lovers [and] I love the hidden messages about not giving up, being proud of who you are and where you are from and getting back in the saddle (pardon the pun) and having another go" - Emma Suffield, Librarian"Short and sweet, it is filled with smiles, bravery, determination and the friendships that can come from the most surprising of places" - The Reading Jackdaw, NetGalley review
"A lovely and beautiful read about the unexpected friendship between two young equestrians!... A charming story with a lot of heart. - NetGalley review

Tanya Landman is renowned for her thought-provoking, prize-winning novels including the beautifully "deft and dark", Carnegie Medal-winning Buffalo Soldier. In 2019 she won the Scottish Teenage Book Prize for her critically acclaimed novella One Shot. Tanya says that she loves how writing allows her to daydream - something she was always in trouble for at school! She lives in Devon with her sons, a Siamese cat and two Labradors.
