Description
Dream Horse: The Incredible True Story of Dream Alliance - the Allotment Horse Who Became a Champion. In a small Welsh mining community, an ordinary woman dared to dream big. Janet Vokes, a working-class woman with a passion for animals, had an idea to breed a racehorse that would defy the odds and become a champion. With the help of her husband Brian and a syndicate of twenty-three friends from the village, she brought Dream Alliance to life. Despite growing up on an allotment, Dream Alliance possessed star quality, beating all expectations to win at world-class racetracks. However, his career was threatened by a terrible injury that could have ended his life. The syndicate refused to give up, and with experimental surgery, Dream Alliance made a remarkable recovery to go on and win the Welsh Grand National. This heartwarming story is a testament to the power of community and determination, and it's a worthwhile read for anyone who loves animals, racing, or inspiring true stories.
