"When Pinkalicious visits the Pink Pines Ranch, she meets the most amazing, mini-tastic miniature pony! When the peewee pony escapes her corral, it's up to Pinkalicious to find her."--Publisher.

Cowgirl Kate and her horse Cocoa watch over the new calves, a puppy, and some baby barn owls.

A little girl imagines what her daily life would be like if she were a cowgirl, living out west on a ranch with cows and sheep, riding a horse, and sleeping under the stars.

Cocoa the horse does not want Cowgirl Kate to go to school without him.

Wondering what they will do when Cowgirl Kate embarks on a new school year and goes off each day to a place where horses are not allowed to follow, Kate and Cocoa devise clever ways to keep their best friendship strong.
