Books in Pony Jumpers series

AJ is still dreaming of taking her talented pony Squib to the top level of pony show jumping, but she’s about to hit some serious roadblocks. Squib has started slipping on the turns, and now her best friend Katy is insisting that AJ needs to put shoes on him, instead of letting the pony jump barefoot as he’s always done before. But AJ isn’t so sure… Can AJ achieve her goals without compromising what she feels is best for her pony?

All of AJ’s dreams seemed to be coming true when her parents bought her a pony of her own, but the reality has turned out to be quite different. Squib is young and difficult to ride, and without enough knowledge and support to know how to fix things, AJ feels like she’s just going around in circles without any hope of ever improving. Then a chance encounter leads her to Katy, who has practically grown up on horseback and has a string of talented jumping ponies. The two girls quickly become friends, and soon AJ is making the kind of progress she’d only ever dreamed was possible. As the world of competitive show jumping is opened up to her and Squib begins to show his true potential, AJ starts looking forward to a fun season ahead. But there’s something that Katy’s not telling her, and it’s going to change everything between them...

Katy O’Reilly has grown up on horseback, training promising young ponies under her mother’s guidance. Although unable to afford top level show jumpers, she has been fortunate enough to lease two exceptional Grand Prix ponies, and they are both on top of their game and ready to take on the competition. But just as the season is getting underway, a sudden twist of fate starts to unravel all of Katy’s best laid plans...

Susannah Andrews has always been a keen competitor in the sport of show jumping. Spurred on by her parents, she was climbing the Grand Prix leaderboard with a firm eye on the top prize - until it all fell apart eighteen months ago. Yet she has refused to give up on the sport she loves, and despite the incessant bullying, she has pulled herself back up and is determined to prove herself once more. But when her estranged brother contacts her after a lengthy absence, Susannah faces a tough choice. Can she forgive him for what he did - and if she does, will her parents ever speak to her again?

Katy’s father has returned, and he wants to be more involved in her life. Although she’s reluctant at first to welcome him back, her head is turned when he offers to buy her a new horse for Christmas. And not just any horse - a talented youngster with all the scope and talent to take her to the top. But Katy is finding her dream horse a challenge to ride, and as the pressure to succeed mounts from all sides, she can feel herself starting to crack…

Susannah is halfway through her best show jumping season yet, and when the opportunity for selection on an international tour comes along, she’s determined to prove her worth to the selectors. But she quickly discovers that not everyone is willing to forgive and forget what has gone before, and a place on the team is far from assured. When an error of judgement leads Susannah down a path she never thought she would tread, she finds herself right back where she started – on the outside, looking in. But that all becomes insignificant when something goes wrong with Buck, her veteran show jumping pony, and nobody seems to know how to make him better. Can Susannah figure out how to help her pony before it’s too late?

Tess Maxwell never really wanted to be a competition rider, and she certainly never wanted to inherit her sister Hayley’s difficult Grand Prix pony Misty Magic. But nobody ever listens to what Tess wants, and despite her resolution never to ride Misty again, she soon finds herself back in the saddle as he continues to tear her confidence to shreds. When her parents decide that Misty will be sold after Christmas unless Tess changes her mind about him, she has more to contend with than just surviving the next seven weeks. Because Hayley is determined not to let her beloved pony leave the farm, and she doesn’t care what will take to change her sister’s mind...

Pony of the Year is approaching fast, and everyone in Tess’s family is determined to see her compete in the prestigious event – everyone, that is, except Tess herself. She has never liked riding the exuberant show jumper Misty Magic, and a crashing fall during training leaves Tess bruised, battered…and terrified of getting back into the saddle. While her sister Hayley’s future hangs in the balance as she prepares to undergo invasive surgery to try and save her life, Tess is blindsided by the revelation that the one person she thought she could count on may have been lying to her all along. Can Tess find a way to conquer her fears once and for all, or will she let her sister down when it matters the most?

Jonty Fisher hasn’t grown up with horses. Hasn’t grown up with much of anything, tell you the truth, except a love for being outdoors and a restless energy he can't quite contain.

But as Jonty’s desire to prove himself builds, the school of hard knocks never fails to keep pushing him back down, and it will take a lot of courage, resilience and heart for him to find a way to follow his dreams.
