The Further Adventures of the $700 Pony (2008) continues the true—and often hilarious—story of Broadhurst and her scrappy, impromptu pony. After the events of The Chronicles, Ellen and her spirited mount embark on a quest toward what she dubs “Equine Enlightenment”—imagine achieving a zen-like connection with your pony while balancing life with two young children, a mischievous dog, and a fixer-upper farm
Expect laugh‑out‑loud scenarios like plotting daring pony escapes, bonding with a surprisingly chubby “Wee Spotted Pony,” and navigating the wild chaos of show preparations. Reviewers agree it’s uproariously funny even for non–horse folks:
Broadhurst’s warm, self-deprecating humor brings to life the everyday absurdities of pony ownership: missed schedules, frantic trailer runs, and the inevitable muddy surprise. Beyond the antics, the book showcases her whimsical parenting rodeo and the determination that turns a humble $700 pony into a lifelong companion.
