set at a boarding school with horses. There was a girl called Diana "Dandy" Ironboy Jones, a girl with red hair and green eyes, the Thurston sisters who came from Africa and a probably very politically incorrectly portrayed African or Indian princess called Teepo(?) someone called Patience or Prudence who had been kidnapped as a baby or something. Non of these apart from the red head were main characters. Seems preposterous but I can remember enjoying them.
Any clues gratefully received.

Any clues gratefully received. Hi ginslinger I think this may be the Georgie and Spot series by Mary Gervaise. Link to the website entry below: marygervaise.ponymadbooklovers.co.uk/

That rings a bell instantly. *checks* yes that is it! I had no idea there was so many though I remember reading more than one... Ponies in Clover was one I owned - I recognise the later paperback cover not sure about the others. Excellent. Thank you so much.

Glad it was the right series. I couldn't remember all the characters you mentioned as have a dreadful memory but a few things rang a bell. It's great rediscovering forgotten books and series isn't it?
