Jinny is far from pleased when she is saddled with looking after new girl, Nick. With her constant stories and strange attitude, there's something that doesn't quite add up. But then a letter arrives - and it brings with it Jinny's worst nightmare. As she despairs, it's Nick who comes up with a plan. Will it work - or is Jinny going to lose Shantih forever?
Horse thieves are operating around Finmory. Two of Miss Tuke's Highlands have gone missing and now Shantih and Bramble have been stolen from their field in the middle of the night. Jinny is beside herself. She can't bear to think that she'll never see her beautiful Arab stallion again.
A sense of unease lies in Jinny's mind and her darkest fears turn into fearful nightmares that leave her screaming and scared. Easter, the once glorious show pony that Jinny saved, will not survive.
A pony series with soul, the books in the 'Jinny at Finmory' series feature wilful Jinny and her near-wild Arab mare Shantih and their life in the bleak but beautiful Scottish Highlands.
Jinny's dreams of a holiday spent riding over the moors are shattered when Shantih is lamed in an accident. Still keen to ride, Jinny visits a local riding school, where she is horrified at the conditions the ponies live under. Spurred into action, Jinny vows to help the stricken animals.
Jinny Manders is not the typical pony book heroine - she is a scruffy, wilful, tomboyish girl who doesn't have any social or romantic aspirations. Co-star of the books is her beautiful, wild, Arab pony Shantih.
A pony series with soul, these books feature wilful Jinny and her near-wild Arab mare Shantih and their life in the bleak but beautiful Scottish highlands. For how could anyone tell off a horse who jumped a five-barred gate because she was so pleased to see you; who was so beautiful she made your heart ache; whose eyes were deep dark pools of magic and whose muzzle softer than velvet So much time has passed since Jinny found Shantih wandering the moors, but this has done nothing to calm the wild nature of the horse - or her teenage rider. The final story in the Jinny series finds them once again in rivalry with the awful, perfect Clare on a long-distance race, and in a far more troubling race against time when the Wilton museum faces destruction. Will Jinny and Shantih be able to save the mural of the dancing horses.
"When Jinny Manders moves to the wilds of Finmory in the Scotish Highlands she has only one dream : a pony of her own. That's until a near-wild chestnut Arab steals her heart. But it seems the mare will never trust her, even though Jinny would risk everything to save the horse she loves"--Back cover.
