Our Process
Four decades of experience have taught us a thing or two about creating curriculum that works. Here’s how we do it.
Nobody could capture the Phantom - the wildest mare on Assateague Island. With a white mark like a map on her shoulders, she seemed born to be free. Paul and Maureen Beebe dreamed of owning her and worked hard to earn the money to make it happen. But Phantom had escaped capture for two years. On Pony Penning Day, everything changes when Paul brings in not only the Phantom but her newborn colt. Can they find a way to keep them both? A beloved classic full of heart and adventure.
Nobody could capture the Phantom. She was the wildest mare on Assateague Island. They said she was like the wind, that the white map on her shoulders was her mark of freedom.
Paul and Maureen Beebe had their hearts set on owning her. They were itching to buy and tame her, and worked hard to earn the money that she would cost. But the roundup men had tried to capture her and for two years she had escaped them! Pony Penning Day holds a surprise for everyone, for Paul not only brings in the Phantom, but her newborn colt as well. Can Paul and Maureen possibly earn enough to buy them both?
