This is a very special new series for pony-mad 7+ year olds from one of the best known riders competing today.  Each book is not just a great story, but also full of expert advice that readers will pick up along the way.  So if you have a child who dreams about having a pony, these delightfully warm and engaging stories will provide a great substitute.  For others who live and breathe ponies because they have one, this series just might get them hooked on reading too. Readers will learn a lot about horse care from the stories themselves, and at the back of each book are “Pippa’s Top Tips” , which offer advice on everything from avoiding kicks to cleaning tack.

Here is some early praise from pony-mad youngsters:
'When I read Black Beauty I thought that was good, but this is even better'  Emily Cooper

'I recommend Magic Spirit to people who are pony mad.  I loved it and I think other people will too'  Megan MacDuff

'I love horses so I like reading about them as well.  This book is the best book in the whole world'  Pandora Ross

Pippa Funnell talks about the inspiration for her books in this video:

A message from Pippa Funnell, champion rider, Olympic Medallist and Grand Slam winner:
When I wrote my autobiography I never imagined that I would find myself writing children’s books just 3 years later. Much of my thinking about Tilly has been done out loud in front of family, friends and godchildren – thank you all for listening.  But, more than anything I have to acknowledge my four-legged friends – my horses.  It is thanks to them, that I was able to create a girl, Tilly, who like me follows her passions.
