PONY JUMPERS #8

Pony of the Year is approaching fast, and everyone in Tess’s family is determined to see her compete in the prestigious event – everyone, that is, except Tess herself. She has never liked riding the exuberant show jumper Misty Magic, and a crashing fall during training leaves Tess bruised, battered…and terrified of getting back into the saddle.

While her sister Hayley’s future hangs in the balance as she prepares to undergo invasive surgery to try and save her life, Tess is blindsided by the revelation that the one person she thought she could count on may have been lying to her all along.

Can Tess find a way to conquer her fears once and for all, or will she let her sister down when it matters the most?

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 eighth book in the series and the second from Tess’s point of view (previously #4 Four Faults).


All the challenges Tess faces, and the emotions she goes through with Misty, are relatable to anyone who rides - I can’t recommend this book enough. Too many pony books neglect to acknowledge the fear that can come with riding, let alone competing, and I thought it was very well described. One of my favourites so far!
