Little Prince by Annie Wedekind

Little Prince by Annie Wedekind

If Dauphin, a pampered Shetland pony, seems to lead the perfect life in the penthouse suite of the city's posh riding stables, it's because he does. And if he seems a bit too self-satisfied--after all, he's won several trophies for his young owner, Isabella, and is widely acknowledged to be the prettiest pony in the city--it's because he is.

Dauphin leads a rich, comfortable life. But all that changes when his relationship with his owner takes a decided turn for the worse. He's suddenly sent away to a farm in the middle of nowhere, which is filled with the most unusual animals. And where, against all odds, he discovers the true meaning of home and family.

Annie Wedekind grew up in Louisville, Kentucky, riding horses. She's ridden in every location she's lived since then, from Rhode Island to New Orleans, South Africa to New York. Kirkus called her first novel, A Horse of Her Own, perhaps the most honest horse book since National Velvet.
