🐎 Happy publication day to The Pony Whisperer by Esme Higgs! 🐎

Christmas is coming but while most of the Starlight Stables Gang are excited about the annual seasonal party at the stables, Daniel isn’t feeling very festive. His mum isn’t well and he’s struggling to manage caring for her and helping at home, alongside school work and finding time to go to Starlight Stables - the place he loves the most.

Then Daniel finds an abandoned horse in need of his help and suddenly he’s got another thing to worry about. . . But will it prove one thing too many? Or will Daniel finally trust his friends enough to open up and ask for help when he needs it the most?

Fans of Clare Balding and Jacqueline Wilson will love this fun and heartwarming new adventure series for animal-mad 8-12 year olds from superstar equestrian influencer Esme Higgs!

We are delighted to announce the publication of Sacrifice: A Year in the Life of a Champion Jockey by Oisin Murphy. Out 9 October 2025. Pre-order now through the link in our bio🔗

Written throughout the 2024 season, in which Murphy gained his fourth championship title, Sacrifice charts his return to the sport following a fourteen-month ban and a personal battle with alcohol addiction. As Oisin reflects on the darkness of that experience, the choices that led him there and the ongoing struggles he faces today, he reveals the pressures and stresses placed on a professional jockey and examines the fine line between elite performance and personal destruction.

The result is a searingly honest account that immerses readers in the daily life of a world class jockey. It offers an access-all-areas pass into the high-stakes world of racing, from the physical strains of training and the countless unseen hours of horse work, through to the psychological turmoil of racing, the private agony of wasting, and the vital community of the weighing room.
