One of the best horse books of all time!

I'm sad that The Team, and K.M. Peyton's earlier book about Ruth, Fly-by-Night, are no longer in print. They should be! These books are so well written and the characters so carefully drawn; they are superior in every way not only to most horse books, but to most modern young adult books as well. This book is accurate as regards British Pony Club, and wonderfully horsey, but it's also realistic. Ruth isn't a perfect rider OR a perfect person. She has flaws and problems, and a life that is sometimes rocky. She, Peter, and Jonathan are real people. Visit them again in Fly-by-Night, Free Rein, Prove Yourself a Hero, A Midsummer Night's Death, and the Pennington books (Pennington's Last Term, The Beethoven Medal, and Pennington's Heir).

A must for the pony-mad

This sequel to "Fly By Night" is the account of Ruth, a bit older but just as impulsive, as she rescues Peter's former pony, Toadhill Flax, from an auction and struggles to get on with him well enough to ride in the Pony Club horse trials. Like K.M. Peyton's other works, it is authentically horsey with well-rounded characters, and with a fair dose of realism. I have read it many times and enjoy it more with each reading.
