Hi all, I had a query from the website Facebook Page about a mystery book someone is trying to identify. Here is the query:
Hi, I am trying to remember the name of a book I read about 30 years ago.
It was a children's story about 10 or 12 former riding school ponies, who have to leave as it closes. The ponies all go to different homes and lives. It goes a bit fantasy as I remember one becomes an Astronaut and another ends up a Pegasus.
It is probably a UK book but she doesn't rule out it being USA or Aussie!
If this rings a bell with anyone please let me know.

I initally thought that but I can't recall any of them becoming a pegasus! I'm not at home to check the book at the moment. Does anyone else concur with Haffy?

Yeah. As soon as the astronaut pony was mentioned, it had to be Ponies Plot. I don't recall the pegasus story off-hand, but it's a few years since I last read it, but it's definitely that book.
