Quoted from the book: “If that pony of yours wants to come out and hunt with us, please send someone with him,” phoned Farmer Campbell, the Master of Foxhounds. “Or shut him up when we are hunting this part of the country.” FROM THE DUSTJACKET: The Lairds were horse crazy, every one of them. Silver Heels was their pony, a natural jumper with a bit of Welsh in him. There was no keeping him in his pasture, and when the hounds gave tongue, Silver thought it was his signal to join the hunt. This is a real out-door book, with the fun of riding, of a Pony Club and of a Drag Hunt. It is full of the good, straight horse talk and fine pictures of horses that Paul Brown’s readers have come to expect and love. At the end of the story Silver Heels shows what he can do.
