Marga Jonker 
Goodbye, Chocolate Charlie 

Solitaire Stud Farm in the Cederberg breeds perfectly trained sporting horses – showjumping, polo and dressage champions every one. Nicky and her horse Chocolate Charlie were no exception. Until the terrible accident . . . Still struggling to come to terms with her loss, Nicky awaits her cousin, Colette, and her boarding school friends Charni and Ateeyah’s arrival at Solitaire. They will be putting in some final practice hours before the South African National Dressage and Showjumping competition. But Grandpa Solly has bought a palomino pony, and the blonde newcomer seems to cause havoc at every turn with her strange behaviour. Will she reveal her secret to Nicky? Will Nicky find healing?
