PONY JUMPERS #1
All of AJ’s dreams seemed to be coming true when her parents bought her a pony of her own, but the reality has turned out to be quite different. Squib is young and difficult to ride, and without enough knowledge and support to know how to fix things, AJ feels like she’s just going around in circles without any hope of ever improving.
Then a chance encounter leads her to Katy, who has practically grown up on horseback and has a string of talented jumping ponies. The two girls quickly become friends, and soon AJ is making the kind of progress she’d only ever dreamed was possible. As the world of competitive show jumping is opened up to her and Squib begins to show his true potential, AJ starts looking forward to a fun season ahead.
But there’s something that Katy’s not telling her, and it’s going to change everything between them…

Also available from The Kiwi Kids’ Bookstore:
Follow the adventures of AJ, Katy, Susannah and Tess as they train and compete their ponies on New Zealand’s national show jumping circuit. Whether they have an unschooled pony and tack held together with duct tape, or a string of top-quality show jumpers, these four girls all have one thing in common - a love for the sport, and a lot of love for their ponies.
Each book in the Pony Jumper series is told from the perspective of one of the four main characters and ties into the books that have gone before. Set in New Zealand, the series incorporates information about training and riding competition ponies that will give help and guidance to readers, as well as each telling a compelling story. This is the first book in the series and is told from AJ’s point of view.
“The Pony Jumpers series gives you thoroughly enjoyable, character-driven stories loaded with authentic content, just what we have come to expect from this author. Her skill with dialogue and the nuances of family life is really outstanding.”
