Ozzie’s Story
“I bought Ozzie over a year ago as a green five year old at the sales in Kilkenny. As we unloaded him in Tipperary that night I realised I had a restart on my hands. This is the story of how we progressed...
To enter for your chance to win, simply send an email to info@horseplay.ie with your answer to the following question:
Q. Where was Ozzie bought from? (hint, see short paragraph just above!)
Early reviews have described this book as “beautifully written, fantastic, totally addictive reading. Elaine captures you and drags you into her world. What came across from Ozzie’s story was that there’s so much learning that happens on both side of the horse human partnership. Having young horses could become addictive, it’s such a gift being able to watch them grown and learn, I’m loving it.”

How to paint a horse:
Follow the progress of painting a brown horse’s head using pastels. Each chapter contains a full explanation of the steps for you to practise at home. Artists have used pastels for over 200 years and those paintings are as fresh and brilliant as the day they were created because pastel does not discolour, fade or crack like liquid paints. Well known pastel artists whose work can still be admired after more than 100 years are Edgar Degas, Eduard Manet and Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec.
