Forging On

‘Wonderfully warm and funny’ Cathy Woodman, bestselling author of Trust Me I’m A Vet

Will is a Yorkshire lad, through and through. He’s in his element when he’s outside in the country air, not stuck in a classroom wasting his youth and the beauty of Yorkshire. When he starts as an apprentice farrier, his first few days are a baptism of fire. His fellow apprentice is a wind-up merchant and his gruff boss, Stanley, ribs him mercilessly about his tea drinking habit. But in this chaotic environment, the three of them form a brotherhood, and soon, Will realises that the coming year is going to teach him a lot more than how to shoe a horse properly…

A charming story full of dry Yorkshire humour and warmth – a must-read for fans of James Herriot, Clare Balding, Countryfile and The Shepherd’s Life.
