Publisher's Synopsis
'The last of my lovely boys walked out of my life today.' Who are these lovely boys? They are the 'quads', the author's extended family of four-legged creatures - her horses. Sonia Roberts journeys back through her life to the Second World War when she was evacuated to Devon, to her marriage and through her farming career. In her earlier days milking was done by hand and horses played a vital role in the farm's operation. We see the reality of the backbreaking work. And we get an insight into the unique world of horse care and breeding.
