About this ebook
The Pony Tails’ riding teacher, Max, has assigned each of the girls a “big sister” from the Pony Club to help them improve their skills. When Jasmine is assigned to Carole Hansen, the best rider at Pine Hollow Stables, the other girls are jealous—especially Erin Mosley.
Erin doesn’t think it’s fair, and says she’s going to make Jasmine sorry. Will her nasty schemes ruin Jasmine’s chances of winning a blue ribbon? Not if the Pony Tails can help it!

1 The Horse Wise Meeting
I wonder what today’s meeting is about,
Jasmine James said.
I don’t know,
said Corey Takamura. Max didn’t tell us last week.
It was Saturday morning. Jasmine, Corey, and their other best friend, May Grover, were waiting for their weekly Pony Club meeting to start. Their Pony Club was called Horse Wise. It met at Pine Hollow Stables, where the three girls also took riding lessons. Max Regnery was the owner of Pine Hollow and their riding teacher. He was the head of their Pony Club, too.
This week’s meeting was unmounted, which meant that Jasmine, May, and Corey had left their ponies at home. The three girls were neighbors, and they all kept their ponies in barns behind their houses. When the girls had mounted Horse Wise meetings, May’s father brought their ponies to Pine Hollow in his horse trailer.
I hope this meeting isn’t something boring like rolling bandages,
May said.
Corey shrugged. I don’t even mind doing that,
she said. At least it still has something to do with ponies.
That reminds me,
Jasmine said, tucking a strand of her long blond hair back into its ponytail. I meant to tell you guys about the model horse I saw when my mom and I were at the mall yesterday. Or rather, the model pony.
Jasmine loved model horses and had a big collection of them. May and Corey liked them, too, but they didn’t have very many. That didn’t matter, because Jasmine let them play with hers. It was part of being best friends. That was why the three girls called themselves the Pony Tails—they were best friends and they all loved ponies.
A model pony?
Corey said. What did it look like?
That’s the best part,
Jasmine said. It looked just like Outlaw. It had the same kind of mask and everything.
Outlaw was Jasmine’s pony. He was dark brown except for a white mask on his face that made him look like an old-fashioned bank robber.
It sounds perfect,
May said. You have to get it!
I know,
Jasmine said. She sighed. But it will take me forever to save up enough from my allowance. And Christmas is months and months away.
Just then a girl their age named Erin Mosley leaned over to talk to them. Erin had been taking lessons at Pine Hollow for almost a year, but she had just joined Horse Wise. Why doesn’t your mother just buy it for you?
Erin asked Jasmine. My parents buy me anything I want. All I have to do is ask.
We weren’t talking to you, Erin,
May said, rolling her eyes. Erin was always bragging. Secretly, the Pony Tails thought Erin’s parents bought her things because Erin whined so much. That was one reason the Pony Tails didn’t like her. Another reason was that Erin was a goody-goody. She always tried to impress teachers and other adults, even if it meant being a tattletale.
Erin stuck her tongue out at May. It’s a free country,
she said. I can talk about anything I want.
Just ignore her,
Jasmine whispered to her friends. She didn’t like to make trouble.
I heard that,
Erin said, glaring at Jasmine. You think you’re so great. But you’re not. Your parents won’t even buy you a stupid toy horse.
Jasmine’s face turned red, but she didn’t say anything.
May frowned at Erin. You’d better shut up,
she warned.
Don’t tell me what to do, May,
Erin said.
Why shouldn’t she?
Corey said. After all, it’s a free country.
May and Corey laughed at the angry look on Erin’s face, but Jasmine didn’t join in. She hated fighting. She didn’t like Erin any more than her friends did, but she wished they could just be nice to each other.
Erin tossed her head, making her long blond hair bounce around her shoulders. You guys had better watch out,
she said. You always act like you’re better than everyone else. Just because you have your own ponies, that doesn’t make you anything special. You’d just better watch out.
Erin didn’t have her own pony the way Jasmine, May, and Corey did. She rode one of Pine Hollow’s schooling ponies, a peppy Appaloosa named Quarter.
Don’t worry about her,
Corey whispered to Jasmine. She’s all talk and no action. She wouldn’t dare do anything to us.
Jasmine wasn’t so sure about that. She had seen the look on Erin’s face—and she was afraid that Erin wanted to make trouble for the Pony Tails.
2 Max’s Big Announcement
A few minutes later Max started the Pony Club meeting the way he always
