Book Review

I didn’t put the book down I just kept reading

George is worried about starting the paddock grove the best school for equestrians. She has won a scholarship. Her parents surprised her with a pony called Bear.

Bear is a mischievous and it might cost her the scholarship.George makes some friends and it starts to work out.

One day her best friend’s horse Ted goes missing and they decide to venture out in the night but what happens.

I really enjoyed reading the book. It is a very easy read and I can imagine the story in my mind as I am reading it.

I didn’t put the book down I just kept reading.

About the Book

A scholarship to Paddock Grove is a dream come true for George, but when her local riding school shuts down and the horse she hoped to borrow is sold, it seems her dreams are over before they’ve begun – until her parents surprise her with a pony of her own.

Unfortunately, that pony is Bear, a scruffy cob with tangles in his mane, feathers around his hooves and a mischievous streak a mile wide. He’s the complete opposite of the well-bred show horses her classmates are riding.

This is the first of four titles in a brand new pony series set in an elite equestrian boarding school from rising star J. P. Rose.
