A very sweet little book written from the point of view of a young pony moving away from his mother. I love horse and pony books, but I've never read one like this, from the animal's point of view. It gave nice insight into what a young pony might be feeling with all the changes and confusion surrounding a new home, new people, and new animal-friends. A very good story. ( )

Happy Go Lucky the pony moves from his home stable to a riding school. Young readers will identify with Happy's anxiety as he worries how he'll fit in, whether he'll have to work too hard, and who will be his friend.

Early elementary girls who are horse fans will appreciate the detailed description of a riding school, from the pony's point of view. Readers who don't understand the infinite allure of a horse's mane may find the story a tad dull. ( )
