About the author
Sylvia Scott White wrote two pony books I know of. Her Pony Pageant was part of the Crown Pony Library. The other title, Ten Week Stables, although published by Lutterworth, who produced the Crown Pony Library, was not part of it.
George Bowe, who illustrated the books, contributed to one edition of Swift, and illustrated two books by Enid Blyton.
Finding the books
Both books are easy to find, and generally cheap.

Ten Week Stables
Lutterworth Press, Guildford, 1960, illus George Bowe
Two sixteen-year-old girls start a riding stables for the summer to show parents they can be a success working with horses, and don’t have to go to domestic college or become secretaries. They have some misadventures, of course, but they don’t get unfairly blamed for anything or told that they’re too young and irresponsible.
Thanks to Gillian Taylor for this summary, and to Hannah Fleetwood for the picture.

This is the sequel to Ten Week Stables. Everything is going well for Sarah and Ginette – they, their pupils and ponies are going to take part in a local pageant, but then film star Beulah turns up. She hates animals, is sure she is going to marry the girls’ landlord, and is determined to chuck them out of the stables.
