The Adventures of Barrett: The Racehorse with Magic Shoes
The Racehorse with Magic Shoes Meets History and Legend
Through the foggy Irish dawn, red and white banners fluttered above the velvet green moors. The peaceful pastures of Pendyne transformed into a sea of silver-armored knights and battlehorses, thrusting their swords towards the dawning Irish sky. King Henry VII mounted his Celtic bay stallion and the wind carried the battle cries—For Wales and Ireland.
The book is wrapped in an envelope of legend and shrouded in medieval drama as a new era of enlightenment begins and ends an era of wars. King Henry VII rides into history as the Thoroughbred was born.
The story unfolds as a bay colt’s dream of being a jumper is entwined in medieval drama and history, challenged to prove himself worthy of his name as a racehorse of royal blood. Facing many obstacles, he meets a girl named Kate and together they start his journey to be a Champion jumper. The birth of a small colt that had a destiny to fulfill draws the reader into the story where an emotional response is guaranteed. You will find yourself cheering the bay colt on and feeling the tenseness and split second timing riding a jumper.
Destiny is everything; fate is forever. To Pendyne...
