Billy and Blaze by: C.W. Anderson

Billy loves horses more than anything — and when he receives his very own pony, Blaze, for his birthday, his world becomes brighter than ever. From that moment on, the two are inseparable. Together they explore fields, leap over fallen trees, and learn the quiet language of trust between rider and horse.

But when the Mason Horse Show approaches, Billy begins to wonder: can he and Blaze prove their skill — and their bond — in front of a crowd? With patience, care, and courage, the boy and his pony show that the truest prize isn’t a trophy, but the friendship they share.

The first book in C. W. Anderson’s beloved Billy and Blaze series, this classic tale features the author’s graceful pencil illustrations and simple, heartfelt storytelling. A timeless favorite for young horse lovers and anyone who dreams of adventure, companionship, and open fields.
