No 5 - well as it's clearly a horse i'm going for incorrect as the 'mystery' horse was an appy CORRECT however Pippa's reward was a chestnut pony Magic so they could just have got the sizing mixed up

Everyone correct so far. Re. Pilot, its a bit odd as he was correctly piebald on the cover of the sequel and both were illustrated by the same artist - I wonder if he was told off for getting Pilot wrong on the first book so made sure he was right on the second ;D Re. Pippa's Mystery Horse (and covers in general) my take on things is that if the book title mentions a specific horse then I assume the horse on the cover is meant to represent it, thus it would be the mystery horse and not Magic on the cover. If it is meant to be Magic its going down a whole new avenue of wrongness! Hmm maybe we could have a quiz for the wrong breed on cover next.

7 - this is going against what Claire actually says above but i'm going for correct anyhow as in Rufus is a bright bay and since it has a saddle on...
Taffy should be black like the illustrated hb covers

Lol haffy you are just being difficult ;D I s'pose it could be Rufus but I am sticking with my above theory But you are right in that Taffy is black. There's a lot of cases where the 1st editions/older editions have the correct colour (or the correct pony!!!) on the front but then they haven't even bothered to check up on the later editions and just shoved any old horse on the front. Or maybe we horsy people are just too finicky ;D

8 Well Knocker was a chestnut, but I can't see from the pic whether they have done him as a liver chestnut or a bay?

15 another guess at correct as I'm sure I've seen another cover with the pony being grey....of course, the other cover might be wrong too

If anyone wants a clue to the real colour of the 'dream pony' we did this as a reading circle some time back...

a guess i've never got around to reading it but i'm going for incorrect on Lost Pony (12) as it's a grey on 1st edition. CORRECTIts a fairly good rule of thumb, the 1st eds are right a lot more often than the reprints, but not always as the above example of Pilot shows! Surprised you haven't read The Lost Pony haffy! Actually come to think of it the Cavalier edition of the book should have been correct as the company is I think run by CPTs daughter!

Your right it is Claire! Maybe she never read it either...theres a few of christine's I still haven't read, i did finally read The pony dopers series a year or so ago and they weren't as bad as i initially thought theyt'd be but there are still several i can't face just yet.

You are right rosie 17 is incorrect as Khazan is chestnut not bay as pictured. Yes its a good story, maybe my favourite of hers. Definitely recommend it.
