way Grace has written about her mental health issues and woven it
around the story is inspirational and will strike a chord with many
readers" The comical tales of a new mum on her journey from
post-natal depression to the dawning of her self-worth as she
discovers adventure, friendship and the healing power of horses.
Join Grace as she battles her negative thought patterns and fears
amongst a backdrop of eccentric characters, pampered farm animals
and the glorious Yorkshire countryside. Wisdom comes from
unexpected sources leading Grace to a psychological and spiritual
awakening of the true meaning of motherhood. While an elderly,
opinionated pony teaches her how to love her daughter, a scary
young sports horse teaches her how to relax and enjoy life again.

Ferguson's Jill books, The Yard is a hilarious and heart-warming,
joy to read.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
