Stories of Horses and Hounds
How a housesit led to the creation of four very special books.<\/h4>\n

By Jane Thomas<\/h5>\n

We started the stories back in 2022 after I looked after Mary\u2019s rescued horses, one former racehorse and three barrel-shaped Dartmoor ponies. Mary had read some of my other books and was keen for me to bring her animals to life, and after a particularly successful year when we\u2019d brought out The Christmas Gift Horse and conquered the Cornish Christmas markets she was eager for one to be created in honour of Elly.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Elly is the latest addition to Mary\u2019s home on Rose Farm. She arrived weighing nearly 90lbs, smiley-faced but barely able to break out into a lollop. Her entire life had been spent within the four walls of an elderly gentleman\u2019s home, never leaving the space for any reason and only being fed human food; her gentle nature showed she had been treated with kindness.<\/p>\n

Mary and her husband Mike found Elly through a local rescue group. I remember Mary sending me a video of this grotesquely overweight dog who moved slowly but contentedly around a garden. She had a calmness about her that perfectly suited the retired couple.\u00a0<\/p>\n
