Paddock Grove: Runaway Horse Pony. Adventure series about friends and their horses at an equestrian boarding school, for animal lovers age 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13. By JP Rose.

Welcome to Paddock Grove, a boarding school for the best, providing equestrians of tomorrow with state-of-the-art facilities and world-class tuition in everything from stable management to competitive riding.

Even though Rusty is a handful to ride, Tabitha isn't about to admit that she's in over her head – not if it means her parents might take Rusty away. When the Paddock Grove gang enter a competition where they must navigate a complex route across unfamiliar moorland, Tabitha is determined to not let her control over Rusty slip...
