Thought I would try a new sort of quiz. This is inspired by the scavenger hunts in pony books, especially the very funny one in Pony Club Camp where they have to go off and find as many items as possible begining with the letter 'F'
Ours is to do with pony books. There will be 5 tasks/things to find, I will give everyone approx 3 days to find as many book titles as possible which correspond to each task then move onto the next one. If I'm feeling generous I may even award the person with the most titles a virtual trophy ;D
Task 1: FIND AS MANY PONY BOOK TITLES AS YOU CAN WITH ANY COLOUR APART FROM BLACK OR SILVER IN THE TITLE

That's no fair....means we can't have any of the Silver Brumby or Black Beauty's family series! Are we allowed both horse and non horse colours? Not very good at quizzes but off the top of my head I can think of: Little Grey Pony The Wild White Stallion Red Conker The Chestnut Filly Crab the Roan I will try and put my brain in gear I'm sure there must be a lot more...

Well haffy I think you must have frightened off the competition! ;D btw I never thought of Fly by night either! Here are one or two more which I think have been missed out: Blaze and the mountain lion by c w anderson Eagle's wings by loraine snelling The calf on shale hill by Anne Farrell (not sure how much pony content is in this one tho!) Hound of darkness by Joyce Stranger (a different one to Hounds of Hades) Silver eagle series by Primrose Cumming Ok now for the next one and come on you lot dont let haffyfan have it all her own way this time (sorry darkhorse you tried ) TASK 3: THINK OF AS MANY PONY BOOKS AS YOU CAN WHERE THERE IS A MAIN CHARACTER FRIGHTENED OF HORSES OR OF RIDING

You got the 2 obvious ones haffyfan To Save a Pony by Patricia Leitch Mig O the Moor....havent read it but have read the review so I know what it's about! Also is the girl in the Kestrels series also by Patricia Leitch scared of jumping....or is she just bad at it....can't recall without checking the book

Post by Claire on Aug 3, 2008 13:04:27 GMT 1
Yes darkhorse she was nervous of jumping, altho not of ponies in general. Personally as a child I was more scared of the riding instructress at the local riding school than anything a pony could do to me!
Haffy I havent read Gypsy from nowhere - is it worth looking for it?
