Ponyshoes

She wanted to win. She didn’t expect to learn what really matters.

Jenny is a talented young rider with a competitive streak and a deep love for her horse, Kat. At Brown Elk Farm, she spends every spare moment training, dreaming of blue ribbons, and pushing herself to be the best.

But everything begins to change when a quiet, awkward new girl arrives—wearing oversized boots, mismatched clothes… and pony-covered sneakers.

They call her Ponyshoes.

Ponyshoes’ life has been anything but ordinary. After years of traveling across Europe with her father—working with racehorses and even circus animals—she’s now starting over with her grandmother. At first, she struggles to fit in at the barn, especially with a pair of mean-spirited riders determined to make her quit.

But Ponyshoes has something they don’t expect: courage, kindness, and a natural gift with horses.

As Jenny navigates competition, jealousy, friendship, and the pressures of growing up, she begins to realize that winning isn’t everything—and that sometimes, the most important victories happen outside the arena.

Full of humor, heart, and unforgettable horses, Ponyshoes is a story about friendship, resilience, and finding your place—no matter how out of step you may feel.

Perfect for readers who love horses, strong friendships, and stories that stay with you long after the final page.
