Rosie the Perfect Pony - Pippa Funnell
For my good friend, Antoinette McKeowen
Hello Everyone,
The idea for my stories grew while I was out on long rides and driving to various competitions. I found my imagination full of characters and storylines. So Tilly and her horsehair bracelets, based around a simple bracelet that was made out of the tail hairs of a wonderful horse I once rode, were created.
I wrote the series to help us all understand the responsibilities we have when involved with horses and ponies, whether looking after them, riding them or even dreaming about them – building those partnerships based on trust and mutual respect.
I love the saying ‘If you want to have a good friend, you need to be a good friend’. This is how we should all be to both horses and humans!
More than anything, I want you to realise how wonderfully special our four legged friends are. I have been so very lucky and privileged to have had many, many great moments with them. They are absolutely my whole life and it’s thanks to them these stories about Tilly following her passions came into being.
I hope you enjoy them –
One
Tilly Redbrow thought she was the luckiest girl alive. Ever since she was tiny, she had wanted to ride horses. Now her dreams were coming true. She spent every minute she could at Silver Shoe Farm, grooming, feeding and caring for the horses there. Tilly had been part of the Silver Shoe team ever since she’d rescued an abandoned horse from a busy roadside.
She’d named him Magic Spirit and was his number one fan. She loved being with him and she also loved her weekly riding lessons with Angela, who ran the stables.
The one thing that would make it perfect, she thought, as she hurried down the lane to meet her friends, Mia and Cally – the one thing that would make it all absolutely perfect would be to have a pony of my own.
Magic Spirit was her dream horse, but he was a bit too big and still a bit too wild for her. A patient pony was what she needed.
Tilly found Mia standing outside the stables, struggling to undo a hay net.
‘Hiya, Tilly,’ she said. ‘Do you fancy watching me jump today? Duncan has set up a course in the outdoor arena.’
‘Yeah, I’ll come along,’ said Tilly. ‘But I’ve got my lesson with Angela first.’
Tilly was learning to ride on Bunny, a quiet pony who belonged to a girl called Zoe. She spent a lot of time with her mum in America, and needed people to exercise and care for Bunny while she was away.
‘Oh dear,’ said Mia, sounding worried. ‘Didn’t Angela tell you? Zoe got back last night. She’s already taken Bunny hacking.’
Tilly’s heart sank. Now she’d have no pony for her lesson.
‘I tell you what,’ said Mia. ‘Why don’t you take Rosie? I won’t be jumping her for a while yet.’
Rosie was the pretty strawberry roan that Mia and Cally shared. She was a lovely pony with a gentle temperament.
‘Could I?’ said Tilly. ‘That would be great.’
‘No worries. You’ll enjoy riding her. Come on, I’ll help you tack up.’
Without hesitation, Tilly and Mia collected Rosie and tied her in the yard. Tilly used a quick-release knot that Duncan, Angela’s head boy, had taught her, while Mia fetched Rosie’s bridle and saddle from the tack room.
While they were waiting, Tilly stroked Rosie’s face and explained: ‘I’m going to
