Sam is pony-mad and dreams of being a brilliant rider. But her nerves often get the better of her, even when she discovers that she can actually talk to horses. Mulberry is a beautiful black pony, but she's so grumpy no one wants to ride her. Except for Sam . . . Can Sam conquer her fear of falling off and ride Mulberry to victory in the Meadow Vale Summer Show? Or will Mulberry's bad behaviour ruin everything for them both? The story is beautifully illustrated throughout by Thomas Docherty, who was shortlisted for the Kate Greenaway Medal, and comes with fun horse facts in the back as well as stickers - the perfect package for pony-mad girls everywhere!
