Support The Pony Dreams Project

Pre-order The Smallest Horse Now


The desire for a horse or pony is one of childhood’s most enduring fantasies, and also one that is out of reach for many kids. We conceived the Pony Dreams project to bridge that gap and help more kids connect with the magic of horses and ponies, one story at a time. The Smallest Horse is our first book in a series of stories based on the personalities and adventures of very real horses. The approximate age range is 5-8. Our readers can come to this website to meet the ponies they read about. Each story will also be linked to educational content related to the story. Click here to check out some of the content related to The Smallest Horse.


The Smallest Horse is nearly complete and we’re taking pre-orders via a Kickstarter-style campaign to support the cost of production and printing.


Here’s How Your Support Helps


  • Professional Design

    We’ll hire a professional graphic designer to bring the print edition to life.

  • Printing Costs

    Every pre-order increases our initial run size and brings the costs down.

  • Educational Videos

    We just need a little financial help to get started on educational videos for kids.

  • Rank on Amazon

    Every download of the Kindle edition will help our ranking.

Choose Your Support Level

With your help, we hope to have the Kindle version available in July and the print edition in August. You can contribute a custom amount with any of the options below. We’ve got some great perks, including the opportunity to give your horse, dog, cat or other pet a cameo in our next book. Please note that the final prices will likely be less than what we are asking for during this fundraising event, so if you would prefer to wait, we totally understand. Please contact us if you have any questions at lorie@ponydreams.com. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. ~ Lorie & Amanda


Contribute $60 or more and we’ll enter you in a drawing to win an illustration of your favorite pet in our next book! (Nothing too exotic please.)
