Josephine Pullein-Thompson's classic story of a boy overcoming disability, and his cousins' insistence on teaching him the wrong way to ride.

Patience, Prudence and Jackie know how to ride. At least, that's what they think. They may not have as much success as they think they should have at shows, but that's the judges' fault. Not theirs.

Although he's only had a few lessons himself, Charles is sure there's a better way. Fortunately, Charles finds a riding school which teaches him that better way, and at the riding school he finds the grey mare, Secret. Can Charles and Secret overcome their problems and enter the Foxhunter show jumping classes?
