Gift Horse by Tudor Robins

It’s good to have dreams.
It’s also good to understand that some dreams can never come true.
Kiki longs to have her own horse. She particularly covets Pitch Perfect, the lovely grey owned by one of her lesson mates.
It can’t do any harm to imagine trotting along on light-footed Pitch instead of the sweet-but-clunky schooling horse she rides every week.
As long as she remembers, it’s just a dream.
But what if Kiki could own a horse after all? And not just any horse — what if Kiki could own Pitch?
It will take compromise, cooperation, and creativity — but maybe Kiki can have the best gift ever this holiday.

Equestrian fiction by Jenny Roman

Jenny Roman used to be a pony-mad, ponyless kid, gazing longingly at other people’s horses. To get her “fix” she was an avid reader of pony books, and her first ever short story was published in PONY magazine when she was 17.  She was 28 before she got a pony of her own – a chestnut mare bought unbroken from an auction, and she's had all kinds of jobs to support her equine habit, including working at a riding school. Horses have always been a huge part of her life, and writing about them means she can combine her two greatest passions. All three of her equestrian books are available as both paperbacks and ebooks.
