Nell woon op die plaas Solitaire in die Sederberg saam met haar hele uitgebreide familie van perdemense wat ’n topperdestoet bedryf. Sy het ’n paar maande vantevore ’n aaklige ongeluk met haar perd, Chocolate Charlie, gehad en dié moes uitgesit word. Sy kan weens ’n harde val niks daarvan onthou nie, maar kry nagmerries en ervaar nou ’n vrees vir perde. Vir die Aprilskoolvakansie kom haar niggie Colette en twee vriendinne, Charni en Ateeya, plaas toe saam met hulle perde om te oefen vir ’n groot kompetisie. Colette se jonger broer, Hein, en Andrew, die seun van Solitaire se veearts, voltooi die jong groep. Nell se oupa het pas ’n palomino-ponie op ’n veiling gekoop, en dié sorg vir ’n hele intrige. Ten slotte is die groep jong mense deel van ’n verfilming wat plaasvind in die aanliggende natuurreservaat; dis vir ’n TV-program oor navorsing oor Kaapse luiperds. Daar is ’n dramatiese luiperdaanval, en Nell kan uiteindelik die legkaartstukke pas van wat met Charlie se dood gebeur het.

Huberta the hippopotamus is one of the most famous animals in South African history. In November 1928 Huberta left her waterhole in the St. Lucia Estuary in Kwa-Zulu Natal province and set off on the 1600 km journey to the Eastern Cape, a journey which would take her three years. In that time Huberta became a minor celebrity and attracted crowds wherever she went. She was initially thought to be a male and was nicknamed Hubert by the press. She stopped for a while at the mouth of the Mhlanga River in KZN where a failed attempt was made to capture her and put her in the Johannesburg Zoo. After this she headed south to Durban where she visited a beach and a country club. Moving on to the Umgeni River she became revered by Zulus and Xhosas alike. Finally she arrived in East London in March 1931. Despite her having been declared Royal Game (and thus protected) by the Natal Provincial Council, she was shot by hunters a month later. After a public outcry the hunters were arrested and fined. Huberta's body was recovered and sent to a taxidermist in London. Upon her return to South Africa in 1932 she was greeted by 20,000 people and can now be seen in the Amathole Museum in King William’s Town.

Аннотация
Cinchfoot and Blaze Face, under different names, are based on real characters. The remarkable friendship between them was a reality. Horsemen of the West, including Lloyd Hardin and John Campbell, have more than once told me of the two horses and their unusual friendship for each other. Nor was this the only incident in the West when a gelding befriended a small colt and a friendship sprang up between the two that lasted throughout life. When Cinchfoot was last heard of he was twenty-three years old, living on a ranch in Montana. It was said by those who saw him that he was in excellent health and as beautiful as ever. Old Blaze Face lived to be twenty-six years of age before he crossed the Great Divide. – T.C.H.
