Bonnie dreams of riding: racing around barrels at the rodeo, jumping fences in the steeplechase, lassoing cattle on the range. When Sugar, Bonnie's beloved plastic pony, pops a spring and her dad takes her for riding lessons on a real horse, her dreams come true. She learns how to walk, trot, jump, and how to tack, groom, and care for a horse. Then comes Bonnie's first horse show, with a blue ribbon for her--and a surprise for Sugar, too. Carefully researched, full of information, and lovingly illustrated with bright, energetic watercolors, A Blue Ribbon for Sugar is the perfect primer for every young rider.
I purchased this book for a friend's daughter who is into horses- it was such a hit! I purchased several more for children I know and they have enjoyed it, too. The story is a sweet one and the illustrations are great, and I especially like the way the "horse lingo" is woven into the experience.
