The adventures of Pony Dexter

On a bright, beautiful morning the young pony known as Dexter sets out for his first pony trot, his sleek bay coat glittering in the sunrise. From his own point of view he details the careful training on a bustling stock‑farm, the gentle lessons that turned a nervous foal into a steady saddle horse, and the pride he feels in his long arched neck and strong, high‑heeled hooves. The narrative blends the practical world of reins and harnesses with the simple joys of feeling the wind while trotting beside larger work horses.

Everything changes when Perley Bolt, a wealthy but self‑willed boy, claims Dexter as his own. Sent to the fashionable summer resort of Greenpoint, the pair join other well‑bred ponies for races, rides, and the occasional misadventure that tests both their temperaments. Listeners will follow Dexter’s witty observations as he navigates pride, friendship, and the unexpected challenges of life beyond the farm.
