A thrilling and moving lyrical descriptive poem in the style of legendary Australian bush poets Andrew 'Banjo' Paterson and Henry Lawson. Australian bush ballads are renowned for their easy flowing style and comfortable rhythmic pace and this poem is a beautifully crafted example of that art. A desperate Australian farming family caught in a drought and under threat of mortgage foreclosure in a few days, form a plan to enter their horse Bonny Blue in a horse race (the Carling Cup) with 16-year-old son Jack to ride her.
She has raced before but was injured (long since healed) and now she works on the farm. Jack and Bonny Blue use their fighting spirit and their bond to overcome inexperience, prejudice and overwhelming odds in the race for the Carling Cup.

Biographie de Owen Trevor Smith

I now live on the Kapiti Coast of the North Island of beautiful New Zealand but I have lived and worked in Australia, England, Germany and Switzerland. I grew up in the small village of Paekakariki (try saying that if you're not a kiwi), only 10km from where I now live, graduated with degrees in Psychology and Education from Victoria University of Wellington, and work as a software engineer when I'm not writing.
I share my home with two dogs (Harry and Jacko) and three guitars (not named). I've travelled throughout the world for extensive periods of time and I've sailed the Atlantic from England to Brazil in my 41-foot ketch 'Adastra'. I have written poems (that rhyme!), short fiction in diverse genres (westerns, science fiction, war, crime, adventure) and also children's stories and a play (which has been performed :-) ).
My first novel LINDISFARNE: Fury of the Northmen was published in 2018.
