Summer Pony
Author: Jean Slaughter Doty, Sam Savitt (Illustrator)
Ginny dreamed of having a sleek, beautiful pony for the summmer- not this half-starved, shabby mare from that ghastly pony farm. At first, Ginny tells herself that any pony is better than none. But by the end of the summer, Ginny would give her life -- and almost does -- to save darling Mokey from returning to the farm.

As a kid I ate, slept and drank horses. And almost every book I read was about horses. Of the many horse books I read, Jean Slaughter Doty's were among my favorites. If you have a girl with a horse obsession this would be one of my first recommendations. I think I identified with her characters more deeply than I did with Walter Farley's and others'-- great as many of those books are. Young girls have this intensity of passion for their horses- a powerful emotional connection- and she mirrors that for them in her characters.
