Synopsis:

Prince, a little Icelandic pony, is growing up. He is Anna's pony. She's raised him from a foal, and loves him dearly. Whenever Anna calls, Prince comes running right to her and nuzzles her neck. Prince is still too young to be ridden, but it's time to start training him to walk with a halter and lead line. On his very first lesson, Anna accidentally walks him past a noisy tractor. Terrified, Prince rears and runs away. With her wise grandmother's help, Anna manages to find her runaway pony and, with patience and love, win back his trust. Lush paintings of the beautiful Icelandic landscape illustrate this heartwarming story about the special bonds that can exist between horses and young riders. Fans fo the first book featuring Anna and Prince, Winter Pony, [which School Library Journal called, "a pleasant horse story with lovely illustrations that capture the rugged beauty of the Icelandic countryside,"] won t want to miss this affecting sequel.
