“Jo and Claire’s dream was to have a pony of their very own. And when they were allowed to go on the own a pony week at the local stables it seemed like the dream was to come true. If only Helen wasn’t there to show off what a good rider she was! Jo and Clare decide to teach her a lesson but it works out quite differently for them all.”
