There was a book that I read when I was really little. It was around
1971. The book was about 3 ponies, one called blacky, one called
browny and the other whitey. They wanted to be people so they dressed
up in dresses and went into town. Can someone please help me find a
copy of it?

Hello Kacamgp,

I am confident that the book you have in mind is "Three Little Horses
Blackie, Brownie and Whitey" by Piet Worm.

?I do not know the name or Author of this book: it?s about some ponies
who decide to get dressed up and go into town. I believe that there
were at least 3 ponies, red, black and white. I think the book would
have been from the 1960?s. It was a hardback, kind of a green/grey
colored cover. I think the ponies got dressed up into Victorian style
dresses but I?m not sure. ?

What a cool question! I picked up a copy of this book at a garage sale years ago.

I just wanted to let you know that Purple House Press is going to
