Walk Trot Gallop


Walk Trot Gallop is about changes, about dreams coming true, but to get there, the characters have to exercise their child within, risk their intuition. The narrative embraces us with silent, starry nights, evokes the smell of grass, of the earth soaked by rain and the fruits in the trees. And, of course, it talks about horses and their symbiosis with the humans.

At the Personal farm, three women face, each at their own time, the challenges related to their horses and their hearts. Lee Anna has to decide the fate of forty one horses and the direction of her own personal life, amongst her numerous family, which can be trying sometimes.

Suzanne, impetuous, took wrong decisions and will need her horses’ company to regain her balance and to restructure not only her professional life but also her love life.

Sandra is right in the middle of a conspiracy which involves three hundred abandoned horses. Furthermore, she has to search inside herself about some feelings that have been nagging her lately.

In the three parts of the romance, Lee Anna, Suzanne and Sandra occupy the centre stage alternately. With their unique personalities, the characters allure us and we are caught cheering them and making part their big family, with parents, grand parents, brothers, uncles, cousins, nieces, friends and dogs.

Written in a colloquial language, the story involves us in such a manner that, suddenly, one has the impression of riding a horse, with four speedy roofs, running without limits, challenging the unknown, or simply appreciating the landscape, in a slow cadence, soothed by the movement.
