The Daughter of Siena
“First, I must mention my sister Veronica and her husband Richard Brown (the real-life Riccardo Bruni!) who own various bits of racehorses through a syndicate and were very helpful in their insights into the world of racing. For the same reason, I’m grateful to Mark Kershaw, one-time MD of both Newbury and Sandown racecourses. I’d like to thank experienced horsewoman and friend Amy Shortt for reading the manuscript for horsey errors, and her father, trainer and breeder Joe McElroy, for pointing ...me towards the right places for my research. I’m also indebted to Lance Bombardier Dan Richards of the King’s Troop in St John’s Wood for allowing me access to their barracks and stables, and for giving me invaluable information on the life of an army horse. Thanks too to the farriers of the Troop who kindly allowed me to watch a horseshoe being made. I was lucky enough to visit the stud farm of the Lipizzaners at Lipica, which celebrated its 430th anniversary in 2010. There I was very privileged to see these wonderful horses performing an unforgettable riding display.MoreLess
