Can a naughty horse learn to be nice in time for Christmas?

Every year on Christmas Eve, the dashingly handsome Christmas Gift Horse visits all the horses in all the stables in all the lands.

But every year, he can only make one wish come true.

Will Baz or one of his sisters be the lucky one, or will it be the Gift Horse who gets the real present this year?

‘The Christmas Gift Horse’ is raising money for The Mare and Foal Sanctuary. The Mare and Foal Sanctuary was founded in 1988 by the late Rosemary Kind and has a long history of rescuing, rehabilitating, training and rehoming horses and ponies. It became a registered charity in 1992, dedicated to ensuring that even the weakest, most badly injured, neglected or abandoned horses and ponies had specialised care and sanctuary for life. Thanks to the generosity of its supporters, the Sanctuary has rescued more than a thousand horses, ponies and foals across the UK. Today, there are around six hundred horses and ponies living peaceful lives in this safe haven.

MEET THE TEAM BEHIND THE BOOK

Born and raised in the USA, Mary began riding at the age of 5 and has never been far from a horse since. A somewhat whimsical late-life adventure saw her moving to Cornwall with her English husband.

Exchanging showjumping and cross-country gallops for gentle hacks along Cornish lanes, Mary spends her days with her former racehorse, Baz, and his three rescued Dartmoor Pony sisters.

After decades of bouncing around parts of Africa in a Landi, playing with wildlife and four sons, Sarah is now joyfully rediscovering the flora and fauna of the UK’s hedgerows and dry stone walls, the woods and the waterways.

Wonderful horses have been a constant in her life and she’s found it a pleasure getting to know and draw Mary’s delightful horse family members. May their adventures bring you smiles and joy.

Originally from Plymouth, Jane now divides her time between a cottage in Brittany, a cherry red campervan who answers to Flo, and anywhere in the world that lures her in with the promise of sunshine.

Her experience of horses is limited to a few childhood trots on ponies on the edges of Dartmoor, an alarming incident involving a large thistle and her sister’s horse, Maggie, and snail-pace treks in Lesotho and Cuba.

And of course, the book would be nothing without Baz, Nutmeg, and its eco-aware publisher, Books & Bicycles Press.
