Suzanne Wilding

American author. Ms. Wilding wrote a well-loved traditional pony series about two horsy sisters, and also edited two books of short horsy fiction. As well as the pony books noted, she also penned some non-fiction books on horse care and riding and a book about the winners of America's Triple Crown. Many of her books are illustrated by the great horsy illustrator (and fellow pony book author) Sam Savitt

Robin & Wendy Series:

1) DREAM PONY FOR ROBIN
(ST MARTINS PRESS 1962)
ILLUSTRATED BY SAM SAVITT
SUMMARY: Young Robin longs for a real pony instead of her donkey. She dreams of a beautiful show pony like her sister Wendy's,  but the reality is Snooks, nobody's idea of a dream pony!

2) BIG JUMP FOR ROBIN
(ST MARTINS PRESS 1965)
ILLUSTRATED BY SAM SAVITT
Reprinted by Parents' Magazine Press in 1974
SUMMARY: Now Robin has learned to love her pony she must sell him!

3) HARLEQUIN HORSE
(VAN NORSTRAND 1969)
SUMMARY: Robin's sister Wendy is loaned a prize-winning horse but all does not go smoothly. Aimed perhaps at an older readership than the other two books.

Collectors info:
None of these were published in the UK and are therefore quite hard to find in Britain. However they are reasonably easy to find in American internet bookstores.
