Annabel

Annabelle was a mean little Shetland pony who always wanted to be first in line. One snowy day, the other horses discover another side to her that surprises everyone.

This is a story based on a time in the 1940's, in rural Alberta, when children on the prairies rode their horses to school. It is also a story of courage and the fact that there is always a hidden dimension in everyone just waiting to be discovered.

Suitable for all horse lovers and kids from 4 to 9.
