The Pullein-Thompson sisters all rode and wrote pony books. I have yet to read enough of them to figure out differences between the sisters' writing style; I've enjoyed books by all of them.
In Ponies on the Trail, fifteen-year-old Sandy and her younger brother Fergie get a job as assistant guides on a pony camping trek. (Fergie is for Fergus, not the singer or the Duchess of York, whom I spent several years thinking had started a second career as a pop star.) Both ponies and clients are an amusingly mixed bunch, the logistical details of the trek are very believable and a lot of fun, and Sandy especially gets to shoulder new responsibilities.
There's a mystery subplot which is not terribly mysterious, but this is compensated for by a delightful subplot involving a Russian refugee writer who is unfairly suspected of two totally unrelated crimes, and gets the vindication that all writers dream of.
