Twelve year old Grace is excited to compete at Ballywater Show in Tipperary with her Connemara pony, Chester. But when the show committee bans bitless bridles, Lucy’s excitement turns to heartbreak. Determined to fight for fairness, she’s lost on where to start, until a mysterious pink horsebox arrives, and its quirky owner, Lisa, leads her to an old book by 17th century English horseman William Cavendish. Magically transported back in time, William Cavendish shares his timeless wisdom about kindness, skill, and the art of horsemanship. Armed with newfound confidence, she returns to the present with a bold plan - to host a bitless riding showcase to change people’s minds. But can she convince the Ballywater Show committee before it’s too late? Brimming with horse riding tips, fascinating equestrian history, and a touch of time travel magic, this exciting pony adventure is perfect for horse lovers aged 8 to 14 and is an ideal gift for birthdays and Christmas.
