“Cherry is not happy about moving once again. She has been indulged by her wealthy
parents, and gets off to the
wrong start with Jennifer, the neighbor girl, when she
demands that Jennifer sell her pony to Cherry, and that money
is of no object. Fed
up with his spoiled daughter, Cherry’s father decides that not only will there not
be a pony, but
Cherry will not even get riding lessons until she has learned all
she can about horse management. So Cherry is
sent to the local riding school, to
clean stalls in exchange for learning. Gradually she becomes a better person
for
it, and eventually does get her first pony, a far different pony than the “money’s
no object” Silver King which
she so desired.”
