Description

As Halloween approaches, 12 year old Clodagh is certain she saw a grey horse in the woods around the manor house. Are these the ghosts of Lilly and her horse Veillantif, which local legend says return to haunt the manor each year during Halloween? But with one of the local horses gone missing in mysterious circumstances, and a spooky Halloween party to organise for Mrs. Fitz, are Clodagh and her much loved Connemara pony Ozzie really seeing ghosts from the 1700s? Join Clodagh and Ozzie on their next exciting adventure to find out. This wholesome and beautifully told horse story is perfect for horse-crazy kids aged over 8. Written by international horsewoman and award-winning documentary director, Elaine Heney, this is the perfect children’s equestrian book for young readers, girls, boys, tweens and teens to curl up with and enjoy. This wholesome horse story follows the success of the first five books in this series - the Forgotten Horse, the Show Horse, the Mayfield Horse, the Stolen Horse and the Adventure Horse.
