Overview

""A runaway pony that has escaped its owners, police, a professional rodeo roper and a veterinarian who shot it five times with tranquilizers has found sanctuary with the only humans it trusts - a convent of nuns. For two weeks, just about everything was done to round up the hyper little horse. Police chased him with poles that have loops on the end; the county's mounted park police were called in with the hope that their horses would calm him."" Daily Record What was his story? Had he been abused? If only he could talk... so many questions. Where did he come from? The book is filled with sketches, numerous color illustrations in a drybrush watercolor style, delightful anecdotal stories, countless black and white photographs, and a few newspaper articles. And for the cat and dog lovers, we thought you might like to meet our other four-legged friends who lived with us during all those years the pony was here. Brief profiles of that cast of characters will also be included. Throughout the time our boy was with us, his column ""Pony's Point of View"" appeared in our newsletter. Reprints of these short entertaining and thought-provoking articles will be a highlight in the second half of the book. m.e. colman
