Autumn of the Wild Pony — Lyn McConchie

Jo and Rangi, best friends and neighbors, like most kids spend part of their time dreaming of adventures. But their families are sheep farmers in New Zealand and while it's an enjoyable life, it doesn't tend to be overly exciting. However adventures can come to even the quietest places and one is stalking the two children, just waiting for the right moment to spring. Who would have thought that a routine trip to fix the fences would wind up being more exciting than anything in their wildest dreams? Book 2 in a series.
