A city pony learns to make a home beyond the stable

Dauphin begins as a prizewinning Shetland pony accustomed to city stables, trophies, and the attention of his young owner, Isabella. When their relationship changes, he is sent to an unfamiliar farm populated by unusual animals. The story uses that shift from a polished riding-stable life to a rural setting to explore belonging, family, and the idea of home through the perspective of a pony whose confidence is put to the test.

Book overview

If Dauphin, a pampered Shetland pony, seems to lead the perfect life in the penthouse suite of the city's posh riding stables, it's because he does. And if he seems a bit too self-satisfied--after all, he's won several trophies for his young owner, Isabella, and is widely acknowledged to be the prettiest pony in the city--it's because he is.

Dauphin leads a rich, comfortable life. But all that changes when his relationship with his owner takes a decided turn for the worse. He's suddenly sent away to a farm in the middle of nowhere, which is filled with the most unusual animals. And where, against all odds, he discovers the true meaning of home and family.
