Description
Book SynopsisBOND is a charming, if somewhat self-obsessed, horse who describes his and HIS HUMAN’S journey, charting the highs and lows of equine and human life with humour throughout. His story begins when he is whisked away from his idyllic life at the stud where he was bred, to be marketed from a dressage horse dealer’s yard. After demonstrating his naughty side there, his price is slashed enough for his bargain-hunting human to take a chance on him. He describes her back-story including those angels and demons, legends and idiots, both horse and human, that shaped her to be the sort of person he could train to be his perfect owner.
Despite a talent for dressage, Bond is quirky and fails to fit into several stable yards, being asked to leave more than once. Meanwhile, his human struggles through illness and divorce. They travel together both through life and literally when they make the epic voyage in his trusty trailer from Surrey’s smart livery yards to their new Scottish Highland home. Here his human seals her future happiness by marrying, in Bond’s field by the beach. Finally, delighted to discover that they have indeed heard of dressage in the Highlands, Bond returns to the competition arena to win his coveted rosettes.
