Not Bad for a Bad Lad

"I know a good sort when I see one. That's why I've taken him on. That's why I took you on" After getting caught, a young thief is charged to serve one year in a working prison. The lad is lonely and without hope but when he is allowed to help muck out the local stables Mr Alfie sees that he has a way with the animals. So the stable manager asks the lad to tame a damaged and violent horse called Dombey, giving both the boy and horse a second chance. But will this friendship be enough to save Dombey, and help the 'bad lad' follow his dreams? Bonus material includes detailed information about Suffolk Punch horses and a new introduction by the author
