The book brings together four stories about Jody Tiflin, a ten-year-old boy who lives on a ranch in the Salinas Valley (California) and receives a colt from his father, the pony that gives the volume its title. The stories follow his passage from childhood to adolescence, with loss and the discovery of the adult world as their axes.

For readers of classic fiction and coming-of-age stories, with a child protagonist in transition to adolescence.
