Notes: Sent to prison after falling into a life of crime, a teenage boy acquires a love of horses that turns his life around, when he is sent to work in the prison stables.

When a young lad strays into bad behaviour and thieving, he soon finds himself in Borstal prison for young men, lonely and without hope.

But when Mr Alfie, who manages the stables, asks him to care for and tame a damaged horse, both are given a second chance. Could this 'bad lad's skill with horses help him follow his dreams?

A powerful and inspiring tale of redemption from the author of "War Horse".
