Three years of drought have reduced the Rileys’ farm to a dirt patch and strained the family to the breaking point. Dusty’s only consolation is her wild and beautiful horse, the Snow Pony. Together they seem unstoppable. But when sudden violence erupts during a trip up to the mountains, Dusty and her horse find themselves tested as never before.
In the midst of all the family struggles, the only source of comfort young Dusty has is the friendship with her wild horse, Snow Pony, who demonstrates her devotion to the little girl when a trip to the mountains takes a violent turn. Reprint.| PART ONE |

Australian author Alison Lester is perhaps best known for her picture books. However, she captivated her audience with her first novel, The Quicksand Pony. In a starred review School Library Journal called it “a gripping adventure story, a tale of survival, an engaging mystery, a touching animal story, and a family saga.”
