Tilly's Pony Tails #4

Samson the Stallion

Rate this book
Tilly Redbrow doesn't just love horses - she lives, breathes and dreams them too!

It’s nearly Christmas and everyone at Silver Shoe Farm is excited about the Olympia horse show – especially Tilly. It’s a chance to see some of the top show jumpers in the world, as well as some wonderful displays.
But her enthusiasm is overshadowed when her favourite horse, Magic Spirit, gets ill and needs every possible attention. Then, at Olympia a chance encounter with Samson, a highly-strung stallion, means Tilly’s special gift with horses is not only in demand at home, but at the show too!

Perfectly heart-warming pony tales packed with expert advice from champion rider and Grand Slam winner, Pippa Funnell, on everything you ever wanted to know about horses.

Meine Meinung:
Lilli soll springen. Natürlich hat sie Angst davor. Wer hätte das nicht. Ist ja auch alles nicht so einfach. Vor allem, ist es für sie ganz neu. Das große Abenteuer aber kommt noch. Lilli, ihre Mutter, Mia und deren Mutter fahren nach London, zu einer großen Pferde Show. Da gibt es allerhand zu sehen und zu erleben. Außerdem gibt es da noch Samson. Ob Lilli ihm helfen kann?

Im Gegensatz zu Band 3 verzichtet Pippa Furnell, auf Erklärungen im Buch. Natürlich dürfen ihre Spezial Tipps am Ende nicht fehlen. Die Geschichte an sich, ist viel flüssiger geschrieben und lässt sich ebenso gut lesen. Weshalb mir dieses Band, viel besser gefällt als das vorherige. Nur ein kleines Defizit gibt es. Das Buch ist viel zu kurz geworden. Ich hätte gern, viel mehr über die Pferde Show gelesen. Ich fand das nämlich schon immer spannend. Eine Pferdenärrin steckt auch in mir.

Fazit:
War mir zu kurz.

Yet again a story about Tilly and her connection to and love for horses. Yet again I love the artwork in this book. In this book she goes to London for a huge horse show, and it is very good written, just like the other books in the series. I hope they'll continue to translate this, since kiddo really loves this. And I enjoy reading them to her.

It was okay most of it was about a show which was a bit boring but the horse Samson sounds beautiful. I didn’t have the 2nd or 3rd book so I went straight from the 1st to 4th. But I’m so glad Tilly might be able to ride magic soon. Borrowed it from my friend.
