Synopsis
Tilly Redbrow doesn't just love horses - she lives, breathes and dreams them too. Ever since she rescued Magic Spirit, Silver Shoe Farm has become her second home. Tilly has a special affinity with horses and at Silver Shoe, she's learning all the time, about riding, training, and caring for them. It's her idea of heaven! Tilly spends all her spare time at Silver Shoe Farm, where she's discovering more about horses than she ever thought possible. Tilly's special gift draws her to an injured young thoroughbred racehorse, Red Admiral . Red might never compete again - unless Tilly can find a way to help him. Perfect for every girl who has ever longed for a pony of her own, these delightful, warm and engaging stories are packed with Pippa's expert advice on everything you ever wanted to know about horses.
Review
I was very pleasantly surprised to hear presenter Clare Balding reading this audio book - but she did it really well and Pippa Funnell's story Red Admiral very much came alive. In fact I found myself being quite captivated by Tilly Redbrow's efforts to help this young race horse get back to racing again after he injured his leg, and by doing so discovered that she had a gift for healing.
A very heartwarming and uplifting story that any girl will enjoy listening to and one that I too enjoyed.
