Mandy and James meet snobby Susan Collins at school. Mandy quickly decides that the only thing good about Susan is her pony Prince. But Mandy realizes that Susan's determination to win at showjumping threatens the life of the pony. Can Mandy and James save Prince's life, and become friends with Susan? This is a great book.

Mandy Hope loves animals and she knows a lot about them, too, since her parents are vets. She is sad when, Prince, a pony she knows is sold and even more sad when she finds out his new owner is Susan Collins, the most stuck snob in the whole school! Susan is entering Prince in a contest and Mandy realizes that Prince is ill and not fit to take part in the contest. Can she and James save Prince's life?

I think the Animal Ark is a great series for kids. Mandy is always trying to save animals and I think that's what makes the book so great. I loved Prince the pony because on the cover he looks very cute and he sounded like a very nice pony. Once he got sick I was scared. I am now reading Kittens in the Kitchen and I plan to read Puppies in the Pantry and Goat in the Garden.

This book was pretty good, but it wasn't excactly the best book in the series. I mean, what are the chances that a stuck-up, rich girl wuold want a cute little backyard pony as opposed to a fancy,imported Warmblood show horse or something? Welsh ponies aren't very tall, (I know because one of our horses is a Welsh and he's tiny)and I can't picture someone like Susan Collins riding a little brown brown pony with her heels 3" below his barrel! Apart from this weird point, it was a charming story and I admire Mandy's dedication to Prince.

I find this to be a really great book. Mandy and James have to try and save Susan Collins' horse, before she enters him in the jumping competition and causes him to become sick.

I didn't finish this book but its really good. It is about a pony named prince. He has to get sold and Mandy is sad.She meats this new girl in school.Her name is susan collins and she got a new pony. she is really snobby and Mandy doesn't like her.Susan's dad invited Mandy and James for dinner. When Mandy excepts Mandy wants to see who susan's Pony is, and it turns out to be prince!

I think that Pony on the Porch teaches people how to care for animals and what can happen if you don't care for them. Mandy puts all of her effort in to save the pony. It makes you wonder-can Mandy really save the pony?

Mandy Hope likes to visit Ms.Jackson, a widow. She has a daghter, Jane. Once she goes to visit Jane, she sells Jane's pony, Prince. Mandy misses prince- until Susan Collins, a new girl in Mandy's class, who is stuck up and buys Prince! She lives at the Beeshes'. Her mom, Miranda Jones,is coming to give prizes at Walton Parade! Susan enters because she wants to be given the prizes- by her mom. It threatens a life of Prince! Mandy's ankle gets badly sprained. Prince has dust in his airways. Fine sawdust, all kinds. GOOD BOOK!

Mandy's grandmother's firend is selling her pony to the new girl at school. Mandy soon finds out the pony is sick. She tells the girl but she doesn't lissen and enters a horse show. Mandy will do anything to keep it out of the show but dos mean she has to steel it?

Pony in the porch is a great story by a great author. A new girl in Mandy's school owns a horse called Prince. But then Prince starts to get ill. Susan wants to enter him into a competition but Mandy knows he is not well enough. Mandy saves Prince just in time.

This story is brilliant and it keeps you guessing what is going to happen to Prince.

A brilliant story.
