Description

Stories from a Cornish Stable presents a magical true story all about an ex-racehorse and three rescued Dartmoor ponies that live in the Tamar Valley.

Think of the sportiest person you know. That’s Baz. Now think of the person who sits in a cardboard box and makes ‘vroom vroom’ noises while spraying crisp crumbs everywhere. That’s Nutmeg. And yet, these two opposites are best friends. Just like people, horses need and want a family. Although they may look at life differently – Baz is terrified of everything and Nutmeg is insatiably curious – there is a lot of love between them.

What makes a horse so special that he gets to have two different names?

And what can a barrel-shaped Dartmoor pony possibly have to teach a Thoroughbred racehorse?

This clip-clop rhyming tale tells the trust story of how Baz came to know Nutmeg, and shows us that horses and humans are much more similar than you might think…
