    About this ebook

    Corey can’t seem to control her pony—is she as good a rider as she thought?

    Corey, May, and Jasmine are all nervous about performing at the County Animal Rescue League fundraiser—it’s for an important cause, and the audience will be huge. Corey has worked hard to get her pony, Samurai, ready for the demonstration—but when it’s showtime, Samurai just won’t seem to cooperate.

    Suddenly, Corey feels she may not actually be that good a rider. What other reason could there be for her frisky pony’s refusal to obey her? The other Pony Tails know it can’t be Corey’s fault, and it’s up to them to figure out what to do.

    Bonnie Bryant is the author of over one hundred forty books about horses, including the Saddle Club series and its spinoffs, the Pony Tails series and the Pine Hollow series. Bryant did not know very much about horses before writing the first Saddle Club book in 1986, so she found herself learning right along with the characters she created. She has also written novels and movie novelizations under her married name, Bonnie Bryant Hiller. Bryant was born and raised in New York City, where she still lives today.

      Corey in the Saddle - Bonnie Bryant

      1 Just for the Animals

      Oh, how cute! Corey Takamura cooed. She was looking at a sleeping kitten, curled up into a tiny ball. He clutched a rubber mouse toy in his paws. Look at him, you guys, she told her two best friends.

      Jasmine James gazed at the kitten. Aww, she said, agreeing with Corey.

      He’s adorable, May Grover said. Check out the puppies.

      Corey and Jasmine looked where May was pointing. Two puppies were roughhousing, rolling around in the newspaper strips in their cage.

      All the animals are cute, Jasmine said with a sigh.

      A smile crept across Corey’s face. May and Jasmine didn’t know it, but her plan was working.

      In a few minutes the three girls would be riding their ponies in a demonstration for a huge audience. Their Pony Club, Horse Wise, was trying to raise money for CARL—the County Animal Rescue League.

      The girls had been getting ready for the demonstration for a long time. May and Jasmine were very nervous about riding in front of a big crowd. So Corey had decided to show them the animals from CARL. Sure enough, once May and Jasmine saw the pets in the trailer that CARL had set up at Pine Hollow Stables for the day, they forgot all about being nervous.

      May crouched down to look at a baby raccoon in a cage. Can someone adopt this raccoon, too? she asked Corey.

      Corey shook her head. No. He’s a wild animal. CARL was just taking care of him for a while. I think most of the other animals here can be adopted today, though.

      May stared at the raccoon through the bars of the cage. He stared back at her. She made a funny face at him. He stared back at her.

      No sense of humor, she commented.

      Maybe you just don’t know how to tell a joke in raccoon, Jasmine said. May giggled. The raccoon scooted back in his cage, away from May.

      I’m not going to hurt you, she said.

      It’s good for him to be scared of you, Corey reminded her. He’s going to be released back into the wild soon.

      May thought about that. It made sense. Animals who were going to live in the wild should be afraid of humans. That way they’d be more independent and safe.

      Corey knew a lot about animals. Her mother was a veterinarian whom everyone called Doc Tock. Doc Tock had her own practice, but she also did a lot of work at CARL. May thought it was fun living next door to a vet—especially since May, Jasmine, and Corey were all crazy about animals. The girls were really crazy about ponies. That was why they called themselves the Pony Tails.

      "Bleeaaaaaa!"

      A sudden noise startled the girls.

      What was that? Jasmine said. They looked around to see where it had come from.

      There was a cage in the corner behind the other cages. It had a lot of newspaper torn up in it. Corey peered at the cage—she couldn’t see an animal in there.

      "Bleeaaaaa!"

      The sound was definitely coming from the cage in the corner. Slowly the girls went over to investigate.

      The Pony Tails stared at the pile of shredded newsprint. Corey watched in surprise as the paper rustled. Then a tiny black nose popped out from under the papers. It sniffed curiously. Then came a furry mouth. The tiny mouth opened and made a great big noise.

      "Bleeaaaaa!"

      It’s a goat! Corey declared. A baby goat!

      The goat had black-and-white splotched hair and bright black eyes.

      The Pony Tails watched as the small creature tried to stand up. First its little rear legs pushed upward. Then its spindly front legs began working.

      It’s so cute, breathed Jasmine. I bet it’s only a few weeks old.

      Corey nodded. The creature was tiny. She knew from her mother that CARL rescued and took in all kinds of animals. What had happened to this tiny goat? she wondered. He was definitely too young to be separated from his mother. Maybe he’d been orphaned.

      Corey looked at the papers hanging from the goat’s cage. She was right. According to his chart, his mother had died.

      Poor little guy, May said as she read the information. He seems to like our company, though, doesn’t he?

      The goat was bleating softly. He ambled over to the front of the cage to get a better look at the girls.

      Corey’s heart melted as she looked into his dark eyes. The goat bleated again. The soft, sad sound reminded Corey that it was important to help sick and abandoned animals. She was glad that that was what their Pony Club was doing today.

      There you are, girls! Mrs. Reg said as she burst into the trailer. "Come on, you three—it’s almost time to mount
