Brugman, Alyssa For Sale or Swap
Random House Australia, 2005
This is the first book in Brugman's saga about Shelby and her riding adventures. According to the author this book came to her as she read books about horses as a young girl, most of which were British or American and had little relevance to her. So she wanted to create a truly Australian saga of horse books, and adventures. For Sale or Swap is a book about Shelby, who believes that her slightly duller looking pony is the reason she isn't doing so well in Pony Club competiions. Her quest to get a better horse is one the reader doesn't agree with, and tugs at the hearstrings as Shelby realises the mistake she's made. An excellent story about judging by appearances and blaming others for your mistake, it should be a must read for all horse lovers.
