Royal Flame the Police Horse

LoveReading4Kids Says

Tilly has seen lots of horses and ponies arrive at Silver Shoe Farm, the stables that are her second home, but there’s never been a horse like Royal Flame.

He’s magnificent to look at, tall and sturdy, with a dark copper coat and black points, but has an inner strength too. Tilly learns that he used to be a police horse and that he’s had lots of special training. His qualities and experience prove crucial when catastrophe strikes, putting all the Silver Shoe horses in terrible danger, included Tilly’s beloved Magic Spirit.

This episode in a consistently excellent series is particularly high in drama but just as satisfying to readers will be the tips on horse care and insight into horse behaviour that Pippa Funnell delivers, and the sense, as always, that we are right there in the stables with the Tilly and the horses she loves so much.
