Our rating:

Since childhood, Sandy Price has dreamed of owning a Chincoteague pony, and now, she is finally able to. Not one, not two, not three, but four ponies for her and her two children. Then one of the ponies, Sunshine, has a colt, who they name Twilight. Twilight seems to be a horse of all trades, as she learns cutting, jumping and finally is taught the art of dressage.

This is a well-written story, with some very interesting parts, but I personally do not rate this book very high on my top ten (of course, my top ten are constantly changing, and it’s very difficult to keep the top ten from becoming the top one-hundred). The auction at Chincoteague is very exciting, and Marguerite Henry’s love of horses shines through the whole book.
