We drive to Cyril Hasting’s property. I drop Tom and Milly off at the house and then drive to the parking area near the stables and park the truck.

When I find them again, Milly and Tom are talking to Hastings and examining the two horses, one a nice looking grey, and the other as black as Midnight Shadow.

I lean on the rail fence and watch the talking, the leading and the running of hands over tendons. Tom and the owner talk about every part of those horses, the way they move, what they’ve been fed since they were born. And what the stallions that sired them achieved, and the mares.

Finally, Milly leaves the two men and comes over to me. “I couldn’t be bothered listening to stories about the grandparents,” she says. “Dad and I already checked their lineage and form.”

“Have you decided if you’re buying them yet?”

Milly shakes her head. “Dad wants to see how they go with me riding them.” She nods at the paddock with a show jumping course set up on it. “I’m getting my boots and helmet. Mr Hastings is going to saddle them for me, and I’ll take them over the jumps.”

“How long will that take?”

“Not long, ten jumps each?”
