John and his family are always on the move: they live in a trailer that is drawn by their cob, Pie, and they never stay in one place for very long. When they arrive at the next new town, John
isn’t looking forward to starting another new school. But there he meets a boy called Tom – who loves horses as much as he does! John can draw fantastic horses and Tom thinks he’s great, and
suddenly it doesn’t matter so much that John can’t read or write very well. When the two friends meet up after school to ride their horses together – John on Pie and Tom on Toffee – John wishes
he could stay here for ever. But soon it’s time to move on again … maybe they will be back next year.
