A review on one of the most popular horse book series...

I've read a bunch of books in the Pony Pals series of books by Jeanne Betancourt. The main characters are Lulu, whose father is often off traipsing the globe to research and write about exotic animals; her friend Pam whose mom is a horse trainer; and Anna who is also horse crazy.

They have all kinds of adventures from getting their first ponies, to finding lost ponies and children, solving mysteries, and even the death of a beloved pony.

I really enjoyed these books. They are not difficult to read (probably a second or third grade reading level??); and they seem realistic about what goes into caring for ponies, and the challenges in owning them.

If you haven't given them a try, I'd recommend you start with the first book in the series -- I want a pony -- so you can follow the story along. If you have read Pony Pals books, let me know what you think!! Which is your favorite?

I Love Pony Pals Books
by: Stephanie

I love the Pony Pals book series. I love all the ponies, but my favorite was the white welsh pony Snow White. It was actually book #4 Give Me Back My Pony where Lulu buys Snow White, not Books #2 A Pony For Keeps or #3 A Pony in Trouble.

Favorite 10 Ponies From Pony Pals
1. Snow White
2. Lightning/Beauty
3. Splash
4. Acorn/Tongo
5. Daisy
6. Dandy
7. Winston
8. Ginger
9. Picasso
10. Lucky (Unlucky Pony)

I hope I can buy (own) more books from this series until I have all the books including the specials.

I love pony pals
by: Chloe

You are a great author.I love your books.The 3 girls and 3 ponies.I love all the pony pals, Pam, Anna, Lulu, Lighting, Acorn and Snow White. I really like how the initiatives spell pal (P.A.L). My favorite pony pal is Lulu Sanders because she knows a lot about nature and loves the outdoors. My favorite pony is Acorn because he is the bravest and is never spooked. The Jr Pony Pals, Mimi and Rosalie, and Tongo, are cute and always get into mischief. I love all the Pony Pal books that I have read so far. I have books 1-31, but missing 15 and 21. I hope to read more, got Christmas money, so hope to buy some more ASAP!!!

There great to read.There full of fun and adventuress.

A Pony in Trouble
by: Sophie

It's a very good book!

It's about a girl named Pam and her friends called Lulu and Anna! They find a poster about a horse show and after Pan looked at it she found a strange thing happening to her Pony (Lightning) so
she went to see a vet called Dr. Crandal. He says that Lightning has got colic which means that Lightning has got stomachache and problems in her intestines. Pam is very worried.

The next day they decide that they should do a 24-hour watch to see what happens while Lightning is out. But the next day Lightning does not feel too good again. Later on Pam noticed that a girl was feeding Lightning some apples, Pam thought it was poison apples! Pam goes to see Dr. Crandal and he thinks that the apples are not poison but may be what is making lightning ill!

The girls except Pam get ready for the horse show! They are so excited but Pam doesn't want to enter while her pony is sick! Anyway, Pam also thinks that Lightning is over eating so she stopped the girl who was feeding Lightning some apples.

Now that Lightning is healthy again Pam has changed her mind and entered for the horse show! She is happy that her pony is better. Anna,lulu and Pam made a team called THE PONY PALS!

Pony-Sitters
by: Miss Kenzii

Well it's about three girls Pam, Lulu and Anna who are hired to teach Mimi Kline basic pony care. These three girls who call themselves the "Pony Pals" are soon thwarted by the headstrong 6-year-old, who quickly proves to them that taking care of the tiny pony Tongo is more work than anyone could have imagined.

These books are really good - easy to read, but very well written with story lines that really pull you in.

I'm 15 and normally read books aimed at older people, but I took a look at the Pony Pals series after playing clubponypals.com for a while. I love them!

If you love the Pony Pals books, be sure to check out www.clubponypals.com - a website based on the Pony Pals series :)

I loved the Pony Pals books! I read them all a few years ago. I also liked Saddle Club books. Any books about horses are good with me!! All my book reports for school are horse books when I get to pick.
