The Pony Scouts are becoming better at riding with every lesson. But just when they think they've seen it all, a new pony arrives on Jill's farm—one who hasn't been ridden before!

Taffy is a beautiful palomino pony that needs Jill's help with his training. With a little patience and a lot of love, Jill and the Pony Scouts will make Taffy a member of the family in this heartwarming friendship story.

The Pony Scouts series is full of all the rich details young horse lovers devour, from pony-centric plots to a "Pony Pointers" vocabulary page at the end of each book. Go camping with the Pony Scouts!
