Can anyone help with some info on this Australian pony series (esp our Aussie members). Was given one by an Aust friend a while back, have read a couple but can't find out much about the series. Unfortunately lost touch with my pal so cant ask her. Does anyone know how many are in series and what the titles/order are. They seem pretty hard books to get hold of.
The only ones I know are:
Bird in the hand no. 1 in series
Secret Stock no. 4 in series
Behind the Barricade no. ??

Hi I have 5 from the Taronga Road Riders, I think Behind the Baricade is first as its the one Brook joyns the grope. Then A bird in the hand, odd bods is book 6, go for it! book 7, and light-fingered lessons book 8. Thant all I have I have read secret stock, and fakes and fast horses I think there 3&4. There evern hard to get hear in Australia.

Thanks for that trixiepony I had no 1 as bird in the hand so thanx for putting me right. Secret Stock is def no. 4 as I have the book and it says so on cover! Is Fakes and Fast Horses one book or 2, one called Fakes and one called Fast horses?
Yes, didnt realise how rare they were until started trying to find out how many were in series, etc.

Thanks very much for the piccos trixiepony. Have sent you a karma for your help. Yes, if you have pics of each book separate would love those too. I have never seen the editions on the left side of pic, only the ones with the green taronga road riders logo at top. Anyone else read these?

The ones with the green logo are the older books. I found a new assie pony book author that I realy like her name is Alyssa Brugman and so far she has written 4 pony book and a lot off non pony books. Thay are For sale or swap, Beginner's luck, Hot potato and Hide & Seek. I e-mailed the author and she did say that shes think off doing more pony books.

Hi I just got a copy off Behind the Barricade that says 2 but inside the cover is title (series Taronga road rider; 1) so now Im confuses is it 2or 1 in the series. Its a lovely copy looks hardly read.

Thats odd. I suppose you may be able to tell by reading if its the first one or not.
