Loved the story, so much so that I looked up the history of the riding school and watched clips of the riders on you tube, amazing! Brilliant writing as always, love jojo moyes books. I listen on the way to and from work and she just whisks you away to other places, fantastic way to spend a journey :) can't wait to read more of her books.

Beautiful, just beautiful! A story of loss, love and hope.

Had tears in my eyes more than once - particularly the last few chapters.
The dedication is lovely too.

Wasn’t crazy about the narrators approach to the male voice - made them all sound like old men....but needed to try to ignore so it didn’t detract from beautiful moments.

Beautiful

I loved the storyline of this book throughout, it was obvious that Jojo Moyles has a very good understanding or horses. As someone who has ridden from a very early age, I could relate to the bond that was continually evident between girl and horse, and the friendship and trust they shared.

Brilliant
