Jill Has Two Horses (The Jill)

Jill has a beautiful young grey horse, Balius, but she yearns for an older, trained horse so she can compete in open events in the coming year. She accepts a job as a secretary to Bryony Peach in Cornwall in order to earn money towards the purchase of a second horse. She drives from Scotland to Cornwall to begin work, taking Balius with her and stopping along the way with various horsy characters such as Ned Sperrit - a horsedealer, Charles a racehorse trainer and his glamorous wife, Venetia, and the Merrivales - a jolly family of five children living on Dartmoor. In Cornwall she finds herself drawn into the smuggling activities of an unlikely bunch of criminals. This is the story of how she works to earn money to buy herself a second horse. She has lots of adventures along the way, travelling the length of England and meeting many different horsy people. She encounters a horse dealer in the back streets of Preston; the glamorous couple Charles and Venetia who run a race horse training business; a show jumper who uses dubious methods to train the horses; the Merrivales a jolly family who live in Dartmoor; and even smugglers operating in Cornwall.
