Making Friends

Meg treasures every moment that she gets to spend riding, and she has always longed for a pony of her own.

She knows Mum and Dad can't afford a pony – they can't even afford her weekly riding lessons any more. But on the morning of her tenth birthday, Meg looks out the window to an unbelievable sight … a pony standing in the front garden. Have all of Meg's wishes come true?

Particularly suitable for readers aged 7+ with a reading age of 7.
