Road Horse - book

A story set in the traveller community.

Sammy's dad races trotting horses - known as Road Horses by Gypsies and Travellers - and Sammy's dream is to have a horse of his own to race and train. So when Dad takes Sammy and his best friend Billy to Appleby Fair, the biggest horse sale of all, Sammy is excited. But Sammy and Billy make enemies at the fair, and just when they think they've found the perfect horse, things get really rough.

The Traveller community forms one of the largest ethnic groups in the UK, and the book Road Horse is a great way to learn more about the Traveller way of life, as well as exploring ideas such as difference and prejudice. Ideal for schools, community groups, or anyone who appreciates a good story!
