Jinny at Finmory 12: Running Wild

A pony series with soul, these books feature wilful Jinny and her near-wild Arab mare Shantih and their life in the bleak but beautiful Scottish highlands. For how could anyone tell off a horse who jumped a five-barred gate because she was so pleased to see you; who was so beautiful she made your heart ache; whose eyes were deep dark pools of magic and whose muzzle softer than velvet? So much time has passed since Jinny found Shantih wandering the moors, but this has done nothing to calm the wild nature of the horse - or her teenage rider. The final story in the Jinny series finds them once again in rivalry with the awful, perfect Clare on a long-distance race, and in a far more troubling race against time when the Wilton museum faces destruction. Will Jinny and Shantih be able to save the mural of the dancing horses.
