Pony Confidential

Twenty-five years ago, Pony loved Penny, his 12-year-old owner, and thought she loved him, too. Then, one day, the horse was sold. Ever since, Pony makes every human pay for Penny’s callousness. It turns out that Penny was at the scene of a murder in the woods, which caused her parents to quickly move her away from Ithaca, NY. Now Penny is married and has a troubled daughter. Just when Pony decides to find her and make her pay, Penny is arrested for the murder that occurred when she was 12 and brought back to Ithaca. In alternating chapters, Pony narrates his journey and Penny narrates from jail, reminiscing about the horse she loved. The quirky pony’s adventures are funny at times as he encounters charming, helpful animals who encourage him on his quest to find Penny and prove she isn’t a killer. He also copes with the harsh realities of human treatment of animals.
