When I was a kid, I found a series of books at my local book exchange that I loved. I remember one was about two English kids whose father's job forced them to move to Texas for awhile. They grew to love the wide open spaces and rode their horses back and forth to their neighbor's house, several miles away. A subsequent book followed them as they moved back to England, and were visited by their American friends. Another (unrelated) book was about a girl whose family was too poor to get her a horse. She adopted one that was going to be killed and with TLC turned him into a gymkhana pony. She was befriended by the little snobby rich girl she had always envied.
The thing is, I can't remember the NAME of any of these books. I don't think the two different books were even written by the same author (but might have been), but I'm certain the publisher was the same because the books had the same look and feel. Anyway, I would love to find copies of these books again, but not knowing the names of them, it makes it really hard to search. I'm hoping this will sound familiar to others who were horsey kids in this era and read every horse book they could find! If you read these books and can help with author, title, publisher, ANYTHING that would help me track down copies somewhere, I'd love to hear from you.
