Emily Goes Show Jumping: Emily and Emma’s September, Back to School, New Routines, and Family Visits

September brings change.

New school routines, new expectations, and feelings that don’t always make sense straight away.

For Emma, September means finding her feet again — at school, at the yard, and in herself. With her much-loved pony Emily by her side, and the steady support of family and friends around her, Emma learns that it’s okay to feel unsure, to take things slowly, and to try without needing everything to be perfect.

As the month unfolds, Emma navigates growing responsibilities, quiet worries, and the build-up to a show-jumping competition that asks more of her than she expected — not just in the ring, but in her heart. Along the way, she discovers that courage doesn’t always look loud, and pride doesn’t come from winning, but from showing up and trying.

Emily Goes Show Jumping is a gentle, reassuring chapter book about change, belonging, and learning to trust yourself during times of transition. Written with emotional sensitivity and warmth, it offers comfort to children who are navigating new routines, big feelings, and the steady work of growing up.

Perfect for readers who love ponies, thoughtful stories, and characters who grow quietly and honestly — one step at a time.
