It's funny how destiny comes calling, and in Wills' past there hadn't been anything to suggest she was going to join the ranks of the world's horse obsessives, but after a tough decade of a marriage gone wrong and losing a high-status job, Wills, almost without knowing it, developed some confidence issues. I say unfortunately, but of course this inspirational memoir is really about the extraordinary journey Wills embarked on when she bought – or rescued – the emaciated, dangerous and volatile Elvis. But unfortunately for Gillian Wills, a somewhat world-weary music lecturer who decided at the age of 56 to buy her first horse, warning bells did not ring. There are words that don't go really go together – "Quiet ex-racehorse" or "Thoroughbred, ideal for beginners". As a lifelong horse lover, I've learned that people who advertise horses for sale make second-hand car dealers look like saints.
