They Bought Her a Pony Kindle Edition

See all formats and editions

Angela Peabody has everything she wants. Absolutely everything. She has only to ask, and its hers. And then she moves to the country and thinks that what she wants is a pony. She gets one of course: Flash, the pony she rides at her smart London riding school.

Angela thinks she’s a wonderful rider, but once Flash is away from the riding school, things very soon fall apart. And Angela isn’t exactly brilliant at accepting help, particularly when it comes from the bohemian and scruffy Cochrane family. But surely her wonderful pony and her wonderful riding will be enough for her to sweep the board at the local show? Surely she'll beat the Cochranes ...

This is a reprint of the classic 1940s pony story.

5.0 out of 5 stars brilliant
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 10, 2021

I'd never encountered this author before, but oh, I did enjoy this book. At first glance it's a fairly typical pony book of its era - spoilt little rich girl who thinks she's a brilliant horsewoman, harder-up bohemian type family with lots of children and too few ponies; their paths clash (culminating in brat losing every class in the fated gymkhana, poor kids doing marvelously), horrible brat sees error of her ways... but this one is definitely different too. The spoilt girl is sympathetically written and is not at all two dimensional - even her ghastly parents are written as real people. The dialogue is hilarious, and even the apologetic foreword raises a laugh. My only regret is that it ends very abruptly and there doesn't appear to be a sequel; yes ok, I can guess what happens (isn't that partly the joy of these books!) but I would love to have read more of their adventures. I find myself worrying that Angela's mother discovers her cuddly donkeys and bins them...
Never mind, I shall console myself with this author's detective stories, as I imagine they are every bit as wonderful.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pony story of yesteryear

What an enjoyable story this is. A good mix of characters and straightforward storyline.As a pony story obviously ponies feature heavily (and they're an interesting mix too) but I felt the story was more about the transformation of the main character, Angela. I enjoyed this nostalgic trot through a pony story of yesteryear although I'm considerably older than the target age. Pony mad children of today could enjoy it too.
