The Four Horsemen

Work:: The Four Horsemen (S0565176032)

It is late spring, 2001. Border sheep farmer Charlie Laidlaw, like so many others, is affected but not infected by the Foot and Mouth outbreak. He has a second business - an equestrian one. The summer usually sees his most lucrative source of income, the Border Common Ridings - but they stand on the edge of cancellation. Charlie himself has a crucial decision to make that will affect whether age-old traditions can continue against such a background. Usually there will be "fower hunder horsemen" and riders upholding them - will there be as many as four this year? Can the past teach him anything, and especially that poet laureate of the equine world, Will Ogilvie? And has that very modem woman, Aileen Arrnstrong, who came back into his life last year after a decade's absence, anything to contribute, either to Charlie's dilemma or to his personal happiness? The four horsemen of the apocalypse ride dangerously near.
