Product Description
Molly the pony waits. She waits in her stall. She waits during the storm. She waits for her owner to return.So begins the true story of a patient pony who is rescued from a south Louisiana barn after Hurricane Katrina and finds a new life on a farm with new animal friends. But Molly's tale of courage does not end here. When a dog on the farm attacks Molly, her front leg is badly injured. For a pony, a damaged leg is life threatening. To the amazement of veterinarians, though, Molly rises to her new challenge. She undergoes a rare surgery for horses: amputation of her front leg. Now fitted with a prosthetic limb, Molly relearns how to walk and embarks again on a new mission in life: making new people friends. This plucky pony's story of survival and friendship will win the hearts of readers young and old. All who have had to start over after displacement, abandonment, injury, or amputation will find a friend in Molly as they follow her story of bringing a smile to everyone she meets.

Wonderful book October 11, 2008
This is a wonderful book for children of all ages. It is an uplifting story of a little pony who went through a tough experience and now helps others. She proves that with hope and love you can make the world a better place. We donated this to the elementary school library.
Molly the Pony is heartwarming!!! September 18, 2008
I read about Molly in a magazine and ordered the book for a 3rd grader whose right leg was removed because of cancer. I also ordered a copy for the school library. The part that said the other ponies touched her 'new leg' and then knew it was still their friend, Molly....wow!!! That is what happened at school. The students saw the 'new leg', said, 'WOW--it is purple." then the school day went on!!! I LOVE this book and hope to meet Molly one day!
Molly, The Pony September 8, 2008
This is the incredible story of Molly, a Pony of the Americas, who survived for 2 weeks with no care after Hurricane Katrina. Then she was rescued and taken to a farm, where she was attacked by a brutal dog. Her leg had to be removed. She was fitted with a prosthetic device--complete with a smiley face on the bottom of her "hoof." She was very patient while she was fitted. Now she goes to nursing homes and children's homes and brings a smile to their faces. It brought tears to my eyes. I love the pictures too. What a magnificent story!!

We purchased the books to donate to a local hospital's childrens department. This book shares the hardships of a brave little pony who worked with her doctors and owner to overcome a monumental medical problem. It goes on to show that even after the loss of her leg the other ponies still accepted her and and shows that she is still able to live a happy life. It's an inspiration for children facing major medical problems.
Fabulous! July 30, 2008
This book is wonderful. It is had to find books with prostetic limbs, my son was so happy to see Molly wearing one. This book was well put, with beautiful photos.
