Horses and Challenges at Bracken

In this sequel to Love and Horses at Bracken Bobby and Guy have to become used to being parents to their lively six month old daughter, Rose, and things are made more challenging when head girl, Heath, is injured and leaves them short staffed. The gap of workers is filled by the arrival of London lad, Dean Adelbyo, and his noisy donkey, Moses. Guy’s ex-racehorse, The Dark Miller, takes an instant dislike to him, which leads to a variety of problems and causes Guy to have a bad fall eventing. Bobby is offered the ride on a difficult show jumping mare owned by well known show jumping owner, Hal Johnson, and finds herself involved in rivalry with his usual rider Keith Rhodes who once fancied her. Bobby’s cousin Ellen elopes with a singer, leaving her ‘Perfect Horse’, Minos, for Guy to ride, and for both Bobby and Guy a higher standard of competing looms. Bobby must decide whether she is prepared to cope with the pressures on her life and marriage that this would bring or whether to leave professional competing to Guy.
