When May’s pony needs to recover from an injury, she helps her father train a new horse
May’s pony, Macaroni, has a sore foot, and she can’t ride him for a week or two. But May can’t stay away from the stables—she’s too pony crazy for that! She decides to help her father train his smart new pony, Zeus, and is so busy that she hardly misses riding Macaroni.
But Macaroni is jealous, and May starts to feel left out herself when her best friends in the Pony Tails seem to forget about her. How can the girls get back into their old groove?
Bonnie Bryant is the author of over one hundred forty books about horses, including the Saddle Club series and its spinoffs, the Pony Tails series and the Pine Hollow series. Bryant did not know very much about horses before writing the first Saddle Club book in 1986, so she found herself learning right along with the characters she created. She has also written novels and movie novelizations under her married name, Bonnie Bryant Hiller. Bryant was born and raised in New York City, where she still lives today.
