Synopsis

In the south of Scotland in the early 90s, five women have unresolved issues with their men. Against the backdrop of the commercial horse-riding world, the woman find friendship as well as jealousy, rivalry and bitchiness. Their relationships with their horses seem easy and therapeutic by comparison. Megan would like to be the envy of all her friends, with her high-flying, famous, desirable husband. But he's cheating on her, and her friends know even though she ignores the evidence under her nose. Annabel can't even indulge in prostrate grief over her lost mare because her husband needs her support after a failed love-affair. Sue, an ambitious horsewoman, finds her efforts to make a living and a career scuppered by her indolent, obsessively greedy husband. Stable-owners Mandy and Bridget are locked in an ancient quarrel of such viciousness it is likely to ruin at least one of them. While riding out their own problems, the ladies watch in gossipy fascination ass one of them heads for disaster.....

About this title

From the Author

Writing a book has to be an enjoyable process, otherwise readers will not enjoy it. However, this is my first novel, and so it was a learning-on-the-hoof experience. Of course there are recognisable situations and events, that mirror my real life. But all the characters and scenes are products of my imagination, that is, they are cobbled together from stored memory items. I have been asked  - will there be a sequel? Probably not; I feel I've moved on to new pastures. A friend has taken to my character Alex, so maybe he'll appear in a new incarnation.
