Official synopsis Publisher
As I peered over the stable door, it let out a shrill squeal. I was horrified at what I saw.
The morning had started peacefully down at the stables. The horses were quietly munching hay, the staff were busy about their stable duties. As everything was running smoothly, I went to the shops. On my return, strange sounds were coming from the stables. I hurried to investigate. Horses were snorting and whinneying, our dogs were barking outside a stable door, excited by the horrendous squeals coming from within.
I couldn’t believe my eyes! Lying on the straw bed was a green box labelled “K Shoes” and sprawling by it was the tiniest pink piglet, squealling loudly. However did it get there? No one had seen a stranger enter the stable yard, neither did we know any local farmers who might have done such a strange thing. This was a riding centre, so whatever could we do with a piglet? How could we rear it with the horses who had never seen one before?
Faced with this dilemma, read this true story to find out what happened next.
Illustrated by 20 gorgeous colour plates created by artist Sian Rosamund.
