Desperate to be near horses, a hopeful girl with no horse experience begs for a job at a stable.

Abby’s heart aches when her barn job becomes helping the new owner learn to ride the best pony ever. Can her faithful heart let go of what never belonged to her?
My Review
Abby's Pony Love is a cute story for any child that has wanted something so much it almost hurts. It also will be loved by children who love horses. This novel tells Abby's story of wanting a pony and getting a job at a barn. She falls in love with a horse that she names Glory. She wants her but can't afford to buy her. Abby struggles as she sees the new owners riding Glory and not appreciating the horse as much as she does.
This book actually reminds me of my niece when she was young. She also loved horses and got a job at a barn, but she was lucky to get her own horse. She did have to work very hard to keep her horse there and to train for competitions. Now as an adult, she once again has a new horse and is loving riding it.
The messages that are great for kids were about working hard, overcoming jealousy, learning to be happy for others, and creating friendships with those you didn't think you had a lot in common with. I feel that this book would be perfect for 7- 13-year-old kids. It would also be a fun read for parents with their kids, or a teacher to read out loud to their class. This is the first book in a new series called Dream Pony Riders.
