Shorty Finds a Job

Children learn life lessons from many sources. One of those is a short, stocky, shaggy, shy, brown and white Shetland pony named “Shorty”. Shorty lives on Mr. Snow’s peaceful Georgia farm, along with his two best friends, Miss Candy, a beautiful golden palomino, and Magic Man G, a champion Tennessee Walker show horse.

In this first book of the series, “Shorty Finds a Job”, young readers are taught a valuable lesson about finding the work they are meant to do. This discovery can bring value, purpose, and personal satisfaction, as Shorty shows us in his own unique “pony” way.

Additionally, “Shorty Finds A Job” introduces its audience to the world of horses. A glossary of terms included in the book makes sure the correct words for equine terms can be learned, reinforced and remembered.

After absorbing “Shorty Finds A Job”, boys and girls alike will be excited about enjoying the next book in the series…and the next life lesson Shorty and his friends will teach!
