Color jacket and b/w frontispiece by Wesley Dennis. Young Ginny Atkins always dreamed about owning a horse especially when their new home in California came with an old corral. One day (miracle of miracles), a pony that had strayed out of its own pasture came into the corral. Ginny was allowed to keep Sugar on loan, because the pony's owner had outgrown her and it was being kept for sentimental reasons. Ginny had to prove to her father that she could be thoughtful and reliable. Then came the wonderful day when Sugar foaled - and there was Java Jive, a perfect colt for Ginny to raise and train as her very own. Trail riding, Gymkhana shows and hard work to earn money to keep Java gave Ginny a busy time, but eventually her patience was rewarded when Java proved his worth during the terrors of a California earthquake.
