As THE PONY’S NEW FRIEND opens, Acorn the pony is very excited. Two thoroughbred race horses are going to be living right next door. Even better, they’ll be sharing his pasture. He can’t wait to make friends with them.
But when the horses arrive, they can’t be bothered with a little pony. They’re too stuck on themselves and how important they are. Acorn is disappointed until a goat named Benny arrives. His job is to live in the stable and keep the race horses from getting nervous.
Benny and Acorn become friends. And they’re soon caught up in an adventure. By the end of the story, Acorn has won a new friend and become a hero in the process.
THE PONY’S NEW FRIEND is a heartwarming and instructive tale for readers ages 6-9. It makes a wonderful bedtime story for younger kids as well. A gentle, poignant message; a tale told by a skilled storyteller. A must for all pony lovers!
