In this exciting conclusion to the bestselling Showtym Adventures series, Amanda, Kelly and Vicki go on a road trip to find their dream ponies!

Nine-year-old Amanda is thrilled when her parents announce plans to travel the length of the country in search of a Grand Prix show jumper for Vicki, as well as a new pony each for Kelly and Amanda.

From wild beaches and lake swims to high-country musters, each day on the road brings the three sisters new experiences — and new challenges. Will Amanda and her new pony Syd survive the dangerous overnight cattle muster? And will Vicki find the Grand Prix pony of her dreams?

In this story inspired by the Wilson Sisters’ early years, Vicki, Kelly and Amanda first taste the freedom of exploring the world on horseback.
