      "I don't want to spend the Easter holidays grooming a beastly muddy pony."When Christabel's father says "All right," to this, she doesn't expect that anything will happen. But it does. He sells her ponies. Christabel gets over it pretty quickly, but then she goes to stay with the Westlakes while her parents are away. It's never fun when you realise that people don't think very much of you, and the worst of it is, Christabel begins to agree with them. And she comes to bitterly regret selling her ponies. But will she ever be able to find them again? In a pre-internet age, it's not easy.

These letters narrate, in his own words, the entire story of his time in the RAF including family, friendships, love and tragedy.

      Six New Forest ponies are given to six children for a year. During that time they have to break them in, and at the end of it there is a competition to see who has done best. The horse-breakers are a very different from each other and have very different experiences of the highs and lows of training a young pony.
