Diana Lynch is a practical girl with both feet firmly on the ground -- not the day dreaming sort at all. But she does have one dream very close to her heart -- that of owning her own horses.
This is the story of how Diana makes her dream come true. Unwilling to wait and save any longer, she decides to buy a cast-off racehorse and re-school it for jumping, much to the horror of the owner of a very successful local stables.
He is even more horrified when Diana buys Jade, a mare who has been raced too early and has a strained tendon and laryngitis in the bargain. Diana resolutely nurses Jade back to health, only to find that mare is in foal.
Set in contemporary Britain, Mary Oldham's first novel is an unusually mature and realistic story of a girl and her love of horses. Miss Oldham's natural direct approach is sure to win her many fans.
