Jinny at Finmory: Running Wild

by Patricia Leitch

________________________________________

The Jinny at Finmory books were first published in the 1970s and were enormously popular. They have been out of print for many years – to the consternation of Leitch’s many fans.

So much time has passed since Jinny found Shantih wandering the moors, but this has done nothing to calm the wild nature of the horse - or her teenage rider. The final story in the Jinny series finds them once again in rivalry with the awful, perfect Clare on a long-distance race, and in a far more troubling race against time when the Wilton museum faces destruction. Will Jinny and Shantih be able to save the mural of the dancing horses?

Jinny is not the typical pony book heroine – she is a scruffy, wilful, tomboyish girl who doesn’t have any social or romantic aspirations. Co-star of the books is her beautiful, wild, Arab pony Shantih. Serious social justice issues are raised throughout the series, forcing Jinny to confront her prejudices and character faults.
