Fiona Citroen
Fiona Citroen wrote this book when she was 24.  As far as I know, she wrote nothing else under this name.  The book is one of the last pony books to be published as a hardback with dustjacket:  it became progressively the norm in the 1970s for books, even for sure sellers like the Pullein-Thompsons, to be issued first as paperbacks.  
Finding the book:  easy to find and usually reasonably priced.

Applegate - The Story of a Girl and Her Ponies
