Showtym Adventures 4: Cheesy, The Welsh Pony

The fourth book in an exciting new junior fiction series inspired by true stories from the Wilson Sisters' childhoods. Diamonds in the rough — will these unwanted ponies find love?

 

In the fourth Showtym Adventure, Amanda must earn the trust of a beautiful but wild Welsh stallion. Will Chessy ever be safe enough to ride?

 

Seven-year-old Amanda Wilson dreams of training her own wild pony, just as her sisters have done.

 

Then comes the chance she has been waiting for — a muster of beautiful Welsh ponies that have run wild in the hills.

 

Among them is Chessy, a striking stallion, and just the right size for Amanda. But small doesn't equal easy, and first Amanda must prove she has what it takes by training a stroppy mare from Pony Club. Will Chessy ever be safe enough to join Amanda on her crazy adventures?

 

Vicki and Kelly must help Amanda to win her pony's trust in this engaging story of perseverance and reward inspired by the Wilson Sisters’ early years.

 

ABOUT Chessy

Chessy was an 11-hand chestnut Welsh, with a flaxen mane and tail. He was born semi-wild in  Northland and when we got him he was a five-year-old stallion that had never been touched. Under our guidance he became the ultimate kids pony and joined us on many adventures. Our favourite memories are leading him out with our pet calves and pig, and digging for treasure on the farm.

My favourite book is Casper the Spirited Arabian because it taught me that with hardwork work and patience even naughty ponies can be trained into beautiful show ponies. (And Casper looks like my pony)! - Lily, 10
