Horse Tales

On a bustling Cheshire farm, the patient mare Sally watches the world go round while her master, John Dobbin, is off on errands. From milking a short‑horned cow to feeding a limp calf, the day begins with routine chores that quickly ripple into a chorus of clucks, bleats, and the soft whinny of a lazy horse. As John heads to Farmer Peckett’s house, Sally finds herself “in charge,” a role that sparks both pride and mild anxiety as the farm’s many characters stir.

Soon a boisterous donkey named Neddy bumbles past, a tinkerer hawks his wares, and a wandering sailor drops in for a chat, each encounter adding a dash of humor and a touch of chaos to Sally’s calm. Listeners are treated to the horse’s witty observations on the antics of chickens, bees, and curious visitors, all told in warm, gently paced narration that captures the simple charm of rural life. This delightful slice of countryside storytelling invites you to trot alongside Sally and feel the rhythm of a day on the farm.
