Just in case your brains havent been taxed enough lately here is another quiz for you. Below are a number of covers of pony books. The title and author information have been blanked out. Can you identify the books and their authors? Some are easy, others quite obscure! A red rosette to everyone if you manage to get them all right. If not...I will think of some punishment! ;D 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. 19. 20. 21.

What a good idea for a quiz - recognise alot of the covers but quite a few of titles are eluding me. 20) Pony Jungle - Lavina Davies (Davis) 18) Satin & Silk - Jaffe 17) The ten Pound Pony - Veronica Westlake 8) The Quicksilver Horse - Anne Digby Going to stop now - work to do!

14 looks like a Helen Griffiths cover. 19 - Horseshoes & Handlebars (M.E.Atkinson) 21 - is this something like Horses on the Hilltop - think I've read it - is it about a girl who comes to England from abroad and gets involved with a neighbours horses (or something like that)

Nicholas Kalashnikoff (had to cheat with abebooks as can't find my version - although it's not as nice as the one you have shown).
Is the Helen Griffiths - The Wild Heart - it looks so familiar and I think this is the one I have (in a box somewhere)
