This story was a favorite of mine when I was young. Written in 1959 and illustrated beautifully by Ingred Fetz, this is the story of a young girl named Deborah..
Deborah wants to buy a horse, but they are too expensive. When a neighbor boards several ponies that work for a theme park giving pony rides for the winter, Deborah is able to enlist the help of her siblings and the permission from her parents to board one little black pony named Molly for the winter until they return to work in the pony corral in the spring..
The story highlights all the joys of having a pony and also all the work and responsibility required to take care of a pony.. Deborah goes through many highs and lows in this endeavor, and comes to the realization that sometimes things that require hard work are still worth working for.
