About this ebook
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.

Around the edges of the poster were photos of all the things that would be at the show. A bouncy castle. Burger and ice-cream vans. A Punch and Judy show. Goats. Sheep. Cows. Horses.
