Mary Sharp
Mary Sharp has writtten two titles for the J A Allen Junior Equestrian Library.  She was born and educated in Oxford; rode first on Port Meadow, and ran a sailing school in Cornwall with her husband.  Her sailing background is reflected in Dream Horse, whose heroine, Becky, is the only horse lover in a family of boaties.  Second Best Pony is unusual in featuring a Fell pony:  not the commonest breed to crop up in pony books (though nowhere near as rare as the Dales - none, as far as I know.)

Finding the books:  both easy to find, and cheap.

Dream Horse
J A Allen, 1991, pb

 

 

Becky is the only horse lover in a family full of sailing enthusiasts, and she wants a horse of her own. After
she takes part in a sponsored fast at school, she is light-headed from lack of food, and dreams of a black
stallion.  She’s not sure if he’s just a dream, or something more.

 

Second Best Pony

J A Allen, 1993, pb

 

 

Becky’s pony trekking holiday in the Lake District should have been wonderful, but then Becky and her
friend Emma manage to lose Storm, a valuable pony, and Becky sets off into the mountains alone to
try and find him.
