Description
The Impossible Horse by Christine Pullein-Thompson is a rare example of romance in a British horse book, written originally in the 1950s. When Sonia's new horse, Benedictine, rears and causes an accident, Jan is tasked with rescuing her and clearing the horse's name.
Jan must navigate the complexities of hunting and animal welfare to prove that Benedictine is not as bad as he is made out to be. As she works to save the horse's reputation, she also finds herself drawn to Guy, who may see more in her than just a passion for horses.
This book is a product of its time, reflecting the attitudes and practices of hunting in the past. It deals with a particularly upsetting animal death and features extensive hunting scenes. As such, we recommend this book for readers over 18.
