Meet Oscar the shaggy little pony.
Brother and Sister care for Oscar in return for riding lessons. At Farmer Ben’s farm, the cubs help with the barn chores. They give the gentle pony water, hay, and feed. They wash Oscar, brush his coat, and clean out his stall. Every day, the cubs happily brush and care for their new four-legged friend!
Farmer Ben fits the cubs with riding helmets and puts an old saddle and bridle on Oscar. At first, Ben leads the quiet pony around the pen. In no time, Brother and Sister can ride all over the farm without any help!
When a sign on the barn announces a special event for cubs, Brother and Sister hope to earn a prize ribbon. Before long, Oscar and the cubs are ready to enter the local riding show!
