When Jenny the little grey donkey retires to the Old Horses' Home, she's not received kindly by the magnificent horses already in residence there. Yet, despite their hurtful treatment, she retains her 'kindly' nature and determines to save them from being slaughtered and made into 'Horse Pie'. This is a well-written, warmly sensitive and entertaining tale with a lovely ending. Destined to become a firm favourite.
