A Perfect Christmas & Other Horse Stories

“Candle flames flicker in the lamps on the flanks of our governess cart as a silver moon and sprinkled stars illuminate the driveway ahead.”

This collection of short stories begins with a midnight cart drive through the snow to Midnight Mass. Other true and fictional tales of horses follow, based on Hilary’s personal experiences with her son’s naughty Welsh Mountain pony and a huge catalog of embarrassing incidents with her own equines.

Included are: humorous accounts of a horse that hated Christmas; what can go wrong at a show; swimming pool accidents; uninvited horse entry into church; rescuing an unwanted racehorse and how a skinny neurotic Thoroughbred mare became the author’s equine soulmate.

If there’s one thing Hilary has learned, it's that you never know what will happen next with horses.
