N2  - New Zealand has had a long association with the horse, from earliest colonial days through to the racing thoroughbreds that earn export dollars for top stables today. Kim Swan is a noted distance event rider and successful author. Her own love of horses has lead her to seek out the characters both human and equine to contribute to the thirty true stories that make up this book. Stories from New Zealand's history and the present day. Stories of farm hacks, racing icons and family pets. Above all, stories of Kiwis and horses
