Square Moon

This is the story of an aristocratic thoroughbred horse, born in the depths of winter in Ireland. From a quiet beginning, he goes onto tell of his life - hopes and fears, scaling the heights of fame, and plunging into the depths of obscurity. Square Moon starts his racing career on the flat and then moves on to jumping. His successes take him to England, Ireland, and also Italy. However, like thousands of horses before anad after him, winning the biggest races eludes him. So his life takes a different path to suit his new owners. The sheer joy of a racehorse's life and training is traced, with humour and wit, and more than a touch of tragedy. This story will be a pleasure to anyone who knows that life, and an eye-opener to those who don't.
