Rachel decides that it is time she and her brother Louis, who have always been used to the best of everything, learned to rough it. With their friends Martin and Frances, they make a camping tour of the local gymkhanas. However, matters get complicated when some men are determined to steal their cart. They cannot understand why, but nothing seems to put the men off.

Jo Packer’s Pepper trilogy are the only books by her I have been able to find. The covers of the first two, being by Peter Beigel are beautiful, but the contents of the only one I’ve read do not quite match up. Gymkhana Trek is an adventure-with-ponies. It’s a good comfort read, but it didn’t leave me longing to read the others in the series.

Finding the books
No Pony Like Pepper is quite extraordinarily expensive; Pepper Leads the String is very hard to find indeed. Gymkhana Trek is reasonably easy to find, and usually reasonably priced.
