Georgia and her beautiful palomino pony, Lily, are hoping to make it to the Horse of the Year Show. It's a big dream and it'll take a lot of work from both of them. Georgia isn't sure she's good enough and it's affecting how she rides. How she feels about everything, in fact.

It's almost as if Georgia has forgotten why she loves riding. Can Lily help her remember that it's not just about competing and winning trophies, but about the joy of running free?

Discover the adventure in The Palomino Pony Runs Free by Olivia Tuffin, where dreams, friendship, and the love of riding come together in a heartfelt story.

About the Author

Olivia Tuffin lives on an arable farm in Dorset with her farmer husband Clive, daughter Lara, three ponies, two dogs and a pet sheep called Florence. She never outgrew the pony-mad stage and her favourite thing to do is to ride off for hours into the countryside. She's always loved writing and wanted to write the kind of pony story she adored as a child. Her own ponies and their funny antics provide inspiration for her stories every day.
