Synopsis

'Poignant and compelling, an equine Bridget Jones' Racing Post

Being a stable lass is probably one of the hardest jobs in the country. For Gemma Hogg, it's the most rewarding. If her colleagues are occasionally challenging, at least the horses are downright astonishing.

From falling in love with Polo Venture, the first racehorse in her care, to learning to handle the potentially lethal Broadway Boy, and from the straight-talking boss, Micky Hammond, to the wealthy owners of her horses, Gemma takes us into the closed world of a top racing yard.

Stable Lass by Gemma Hogg is a unique look into the world of horse racing filled with heart-warming stories and amazing thoroughbreds – some loveable, some cantankerous, all impressive.
