it's brilliant!, 7 Jan 2006
omg this is completely brilliant!my dad got me a copy for xmas. the descriptions of the horses are really good, but the indoor show jumping competition at the beginning is brilliant and sounds just like olympia! i don't know who this writer is but she has the detail of what it's like to work with horses (and horse-people!!) absolutely right. i like the characters even vicky. there's a big twist at the end that i didn't see coming and it made me very sad. :( i want to read a sequel, i REALLY want to know what happens to everyone after the year i've just read about. and now i really want to be an eventer i want to visit these places i want to meet these people i want to be part of their lives. there's something almost like a documentary about this. is it real???? and who was the australian caught in the lorry? lol!!!!! brilliant!! having said what i did earlier this story is too real to compare to jilly cooper which everyone knows is pure fiction. this is much better and not so sloppy. mum's just got to the sad bit in the middle and it's made her cry!!
