This book is dedicated to all those wonderful learner's ponies who over the years have had the ability, patience and understanding to tolerate the very inexperienced riders with both sympathy and understanding.

The whole horse world owes those ponies an enormous debt of gratitude for we were all learner riders once and not everyone was lucky enough to be associated with a pony like Tippy.

This story is based on the actual life of Tippy. She did teach many children to ride during her 29 years.
