Family Garden

Granny may be old, but she’s certainly not feeble—or idle! She’s built a splendid vegetable garden from scratch on the rooftop of her Chengdu apartment building. She collects thrown-away produce to feed her animals or make compost for the garden. She waters, weeds, and shows the neighborhood kids how to care for her plants: with love, patience, and pride. Come harvest time, Granny gathers her fresh produce and cooks up a delicious feast for her friends and family. She even sends them off with extra bags of goodies so people can make their own yummy, healthy meals at home!

Da Pony pludselig ser sig selv kvalificeret til et stort stævne, er hun ved at gå i panik. Det går for alvor op for hende, hvor meget hun har brug for sine veninder og ikke mindst Jonathan, den gamle kæreste, som hun ellers har brudt med. Men en anden dreng melder sig pludselig på banen og tilbyder hende sin hjælp.

Pony har glædet sig til alt det nye. At komme i gang med at bruge den nye stald, at ride Heaven til sammen med Frederikke og ikke mindst at lære at springe. Men ingenting går som forventet. For Frederikke skal pludselig flytte langt væk, og Elvis bliver mere og mere gådefuld. En serie om tre vidt forskellige piger på 12-13 år og deres hverdag med heste, skole, drenge og hinanden. Pony (Karen) er en rigtig hestepige. Hun er meget omsorgsfuld over for sine veninder og ville gerne redde hele verden, hvis hun kunne. Maja er bare god til alting.

Alt går skævt, da Pony, Maja og Lise overnatter på gården efter den store høstfest. Om natten kommer der uhyggelige lyde fra en tomt rum, og morgenen efter meddeler en ny pige i stalden, at hun er ved at skaffe sig forkøbsretten til Elvis. Der er i mere end én forstand brug for at få skaffet et par spøgelser af vejen... En serie om tre vidt forskellige piger på 12-13 år og deres hverdag med heste, skole, drenge og hinanden. Pony (Karen) er en rigtig hestepige. Hun er meget omsorgsfuld over for sine veninder og ville gerne redde hele verden, hvis hun kunne.

December begynder helt tosset for Pony. Maja og Lise undgår hende og taler i tåger, Jonathan fortæller halve sandheder, og far småskændes med mor i telefonen næsten hver aften. Selv hestene er ikke sig selv. En af dem har lige smidt hende af syv gange inden for en time! Og da hun umiddelbart efter kommer til at overhøre en samtale, der mere end antyder, at Elvis skal sælges, er hun ikke længere så sikker på, at julen virkelig er hjerternes fest. Skal Pony nu til at skifte hest igen? Og har den lange svære træning med Elvis til det store julestævne været helt forgæves.

Sommeren er på vej og det samme er en hestetransport med en meget speciel hest ved navn Elvis. Pony ved ikke lige, hvad hun skal synes om staldens nye stjerne. Det ligger nemlig ligesom i luften, at hun skal være den, der passer og rider på den store mørkebrune pony, der efter sigende skulle være en ganske god springer. Det er fristende. Men tænk nu hvis det betød, at hun måtte svigte Tessa? Samtidig har hun sine problemer med Jonathan.

Det er blevet forår. Pony, Maja og Lise glæder sig vildt til at skulle ride ponyvæddeløb og tage på lange skovture og lære at springe på Tessa og Rainbow og alle de andre elskede Welsh Mountain-ponyer på gården. Efter Lises dramatiske vintertur i grusgraven et par måneder tidligere har de tre pigers forældre dog rottet sig sammen og betinget sig, at pigerne samtidig skal have én ordentlig ridetime om ugen hos en rigtig ridelærer på den lokale rideskole. Forældrene får selvfølgelig deres vilje, lykkeligt uvidende om hvad der venter de tre piger af farlige forviklinger.

Det er frysende kold vinter. Det er ikke mere end et par måneder siden, Pony prøvede at slå op med to kærester på én gang. Selvom hun stadig savner Jonathan lidt, selvom hun er trist over, at det ikke var Tessa, der var under juletræet i år - og selvom hun er død misundelig over at Majas forældre har købt Rainbow og Melody til Maja, så er der også mange store lyspunkter. Hun har fået lov til at ride Bajads til fastelavnsridningen og Tessa er ved at være frisk igen. Så selvfølgelig siger Pony ja, når Maja skal rejse til Indien og spørger, om hun og Lise vil se efter hendes ponyer.
