- Synopsis
- This swiftly moving story of a girl who trains polo ponies, and plays an excellent game as well, will delight all horse lovers. Phil Blake--lucky enough to live on a California ranch--had raised and trained her favorite pony, Red Embers, from the time she was a tiny colt. Informal polo games at the ranch with Jon and Dave, the Randall twins, under the expert supervision of Phil's father and Mr. Randall, lead to Phil's acceptance by a Western women's team after stiff competition. At the end of a whirlwind season, Phil is finally chosen to play in an East-West tournament on Long Island. Riding Red Embers, she comes through with flying colors, and gains a coveted position on the All-American women's team. Good sportsmanship, keen rivalry, the breathless excitement of hard-played chukkers, and a real knowledge of horses make this an outstanding horse story for girls. Illustrated by Wesley Dennis
