Zippitty-do-dah
$7.27Add to cart“I had no idea how much fun it would be to wash a horse!” Ruth-Ann exclaimed.
Zippitty Do Dah, shortened to Zipper, is Ruth-Ann’s sorrel and white Paint pony.
Ready to Ride friends Ruth-Ann Chow, Kendra Rawling, and Megan Lewis worked hard to get their ponies washed and groomed. They even braided the ponies’ manes with ribbons. The Fun Fair would begin the next day at Sedgwick Adventist Church. The girls had decided to give pony rides to kids for one dollar.
The girls had planned carefully and checked all of their equipment. They had helmets for all the riders, and adults were on hand if anything happened. Beyond that, they had prayed that God would keep the riders safe and no one would get hurt. So, why didn’t God answer their prayer?
Life isn’t always the way we’d like it to be. But in troubles large and small, God can be trusted.

Perfect Star
$18.19Add to cartKendra, Ruth-Ann, and Megan are best friends who enjoy riding their ponies together. When Kendra receives and English saddle for her birthday, the girls start dreaming of flying over fences and hedges like the riders they’ve seen on TV and in jumping classes at horse shows. But Kendra discovers that her pony, Star, won’t jump over even the smallest obstacle.
Together the three friends form the Ready to Ride Club (R2R) and begin taking riding lessons from Trish Klein. Trish knows a lot about horses and ponies, and a lot about people. For example, she knows no one is perfect. Another very important thing she knows is that God can always be trusted.
The first book in the Ready to Ride series will remind you that all people (and horses) are different in one way or another, but God has made all of them special. Sometimes we need to be patient with others and even with ourselves as we grow and learn and develop the gifts God has given us.

Super Star Problems
$4.17Add to cartThey’d trained so hard, but there would be no race for Star and Kendra.
Kendra and her pony, Star, had the fastest time of the Ready to Ride Club on the pole bending pattern. Kendra was hoping her white pony would win a prize-but that was before the fireworks.
Kendra was bitter that her new neighbors didn’t think about spooking the ponies before they set off their explosive fireworks. Star had lunged forward, smashing against the corral, and cutting a deep wound in his shoulder, and now they couldn’t compete in the gymkhana. But worse than that, her best friends, Ruth-Ann and Megan, didn’t seem to understand her disappointment, and some angry words were exchanged.
Author Heather Grovet says, “It’s difficult to forgive people when they hurt your feelings. This book discusses what Christians should do when they have problems.”

Beanie The Horse That Wasnt A Horse
$18.19Add to cartHorse-crazy Alex Jahn was about to have his prayers answered . . . but not in the way he had hoped for. What Alex wanted was a horse he could be proud of, like a beautiful Black Stallion. What Alex got was this funny-looking jigsaw puzzle of an animal with a big bucket head, long, floppy ears, short, stubby legs, and a scrawny tail! Beanie wasn’t a real horse at all. He was something called a hinny. Was this God’s idea of a joke?
Beanie the Horse that Wasn’t a Horse, by Heather Grovet, is a story about differences and learning to love them. This cute tale of a homely little hinny with a big heart will have children aged 6-10 grinning from ear to ear. As they laugh they’ll also learn not to judge by outward appearances and that God knows what’s best for us, even if it doesn’t always seem like it.
