A young girl whistles to her pony. Her pony runs over and gets a sweet apple. The pony nuzzles and licks the young girl. Several kids assemble with their ponies for a ride down the trail. They experience Thumping hooves and other sounds made by horse and rider. The young girl's pony stops suddenly. There is something in the bushes ahead. What could it be?
Milo writes a bouncy, lyrical, rhyming story about friendship and trust between a child and an animal, and about exploring the outdoors. I really enjoyed Kaulitzki's beautiful illustrations.
The girl is white in the illustrations.
