46. PONIES ON THE TRAIL BY DPT is Odd one Out because it involves a long distance pony trek. CORRECT

26. ANOTHER KIND OF COWBOY BY SUSAN JUBY is, I think, an odd one out....the teen protagonist wants to ride dressage, but his father wants him to ride rodeo. Can't swear to it, because I haven't yet read (don't even own yet), but it's on the staggering tbr list! Riding discipline aside, and just reading between the plot lines, I'm guessing it's one of the rare entries in the pony book genre that has a homosexual protagonist. SORRY INCORRECT - Its not an odd one out but you did mention the category it belongs in so I think you could get the point with another try

Wow a lot of answers just trying to update the competition post, its taking a while!
Mostly correct except that Rosina Copper is not an odd one out and nor is Another kind of Cowboy.
Just a quick hint (and maybe I should have explained it a bit better in the first place) but if there is more than one thing going on in a book as long as one of the things fits in one of the 6 categories it will qualify for that category. ie) if there is a book in which showing and pony trekking both occur it will qualify for the category of showing rather than as an odd one out. Also it doesn't have to have a huge amount of the particular discipline in the book to qualify either. Hope this helps in getting the last few!
PS - I think there are 7 in each category

I think (sorry pinching your book sarah) Rosina Copper is showing. She was a Polo pony but the story is really of her later life in which she became a show horse. CORRECT

28. FROG BY COL. S. P. MEEK - I'd say this is an odd one out....Frog is a US Army mount, stationed mainly in the Panema Canal Zone. He plays polo, show jumps and wins a steeplechase, but none of those is the real focus of the story.
CORRECT

Well done all correct. All the show jumping ones and the odd ones out have been worked out correctly, there's just 1 or 2 left to get in each of the remaining categories. Nice find susan - hope you have time to read it!

30. STORM RIDER BY JOAN WEIR - is Eventing. CORRECT
If I remember correctly, it has an alternate title that would have given it away immediately. This is one I really wanted to like and in the end thought "meh". (Edited to add, I zipped off to check the alternate name, it's Three Day Challenge.) Lol that's why I used the alternate - Claire
Sigh...no joke there! It sat on my coffee table all weekend, untouched. Spent all day Saturday putting together one flat-pack bookcase (never again!!!!), and all Sunday doing all the stuff that should have been spread over the two days (cleaning, shopping, laundry) and there was the weekend done.
I actually put in most of my answers to the quiz as I was resting between bouts of wrestling with the bookcase (seriously, the worst flat-pack I've ever dealt with, and I've done a number of them)....typing whilst mopping sweat from my brow and gasping for air!

Poor you susan, I know the feeling, tho I am trying to fit in a life around coping with various computer and internet problems, seems to take up most of every day. I hate those flat packs too, they usually reduce me to hurling things across the room in fury. Argos stuff is by far the worse - they haven't set up in the USA have they? ;D

29. TO RACE A DREAM BY DEBORAH SAVAGE - Harness Racing (another that lurks in my staggering tbr pile). After swearing I'd never do another flat pack, I'm planning another bookcase purchase....after sorting and rearranging, I realized that the one I set up Saturday didn't even put a dent in the piles o'books. Sigh. The one I'm planning on is one I've done before though, and I know it was pretty easy to assemble: www.smithsonianstore.com/chinese-chippendale-bookcase-31542.html?&wtl=s&wtl1=bookcaseRe Argos....as far as I know, they're not here yet...to be avoided, I take it?
