This is a book for children and young people about how to look after a pony in the way a pony really needs. Told through the 'voice' of Toffee the Shetland Pony, it explains how to have fun and understand their pony and why they do they things they do, how to feed them properly and how to work and play with them in a kinder, more natural way. Toffee also covers subjects like 'getting older' and 'saying goodbye' as well as how to handle times when they 'don't agree'. If your horses and ponies could recommend a book for young people to read it would probably be this one!
