Little Guy

by Heather Gardam

tagged: farm & ranch life, adolescence
Description

Patti's biggest wish has come true; she has the horse she wanted so badly. But he is a lame horse, he doesn't really belong to her, she might never be able to ride him, and she loves him already... Patti's story with Little Guy has only just begun! Patti jumps enthusiastically into the complicated world of horses and riding, learning to deal with the ups and downs of acquiring new skills, competition with other kids, and problem-solving in a completely new setting. Along the way, she will also learn about sorting her aims and ambitions.
