The story takes the reader into the homes of the farm's inhabitants, four-legged and otherwise with tales of a culture long gone featuring rugged horse dealers, tenant farmers, eccentric aunts, and animals such as a psychotic Jack Russell terrier, a kamikaze goose, and an evil Shetland pony. Into this mix gallops a pony named Stroller, allegedly rescued from a life hauling a milk cart. Stroller's unlikely path to Olympic stardom parallels that of a former royal jockey who, against all odds, rides to the winner's circle of the biggest steeplechase in England.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe lives of notables such as Tommy Grantham, Jimmy Edwards, Douglas Bunn, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Hilaire Belloc, Sir Harry Oakes, Duncan Goodhew, and Jayne Harries are interwoven into a world that effectively ends with the Swinging Sixties. When a North Sea gas pipeline divides the farm in two, destroying any hopes that things might return to the way they were, the author makes a life changing decision to emigrate to Australia. But, in his heart, there would always be room for... \u003ci\u003ea horse in his suitcase. \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 198\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.45 x 8 x 5.25 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 08, 2023\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42720991707199,"sku":"9798776149658","price":32.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/8226\/1823\/files\/c19fc48582147ce7ac9dbc596c1da311.webp?v=1765090798","url":"https:\/\/dhlswag.com\/products\/a-horse-in-my-suitcase-paperback","provider":"BBB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
