Susan lives in Sydney, with her ill mother. Her father has left and moved to Canada. Susan is being sent to stay with her mother’s cousin, where she will be able to ride and paint. The three
boys who live there, though, are hostile. Susan falls for a grey horse, Stardust, but isn’t allowed to ride him. She has to ride Derry. She manages to makes friends with some local girls, but still
can’t forget the horse she isn’t allowed to ride: Stardust.

Bennett, Deborah

There doesn’t seem to be much information out there on this author. She might have been born in 1932: all I do know is that she wrote books with a Christian slant which were published both in Australia and London. Her first horse book, Jean’s Black Diamond, was written when she was fifteen. The book won second prize in the CSSM Literature Competition.
