Talking of fathers, what about the father in Pony From Fire by Sheila Chapman? He is truly awful.

Most of the English and American characters in Phantom Horse are very nice, with only a few minor slips. The labourer Joe on the Miller's farm seems to begin like that as well, but later is said to get very angry/unpleasant about some things. Wendy says he will end up murdering someone.

I like Jill and Jinny - though I think Jill and I would've got along better, Jinny was mad. (I'd have adored Shantih though.) The desire to win rosettes never bothered me, I know the feeling and my favourite Jinny book was "Jump to the Moon", which is the closest she got to the show jumping world. As for dislikes, I recently read the Flambards books by KM Peyton and could not STAND Christina or her cousin Mark, especially in the last book. I honestly don't know why I kept reading it, they were completely insufferable.

Susan Pyke - would really dislike her in real life! I liked Jill although she'd probably have hated me. Jinny was the one I'd probably identify most closely with - being the sort to have very few friends as a teenager and those I did have used to think I was a nutter for being so horse-obsessed; wanting to gallop wildly over moorland/beaches on an arab that matched my hair (mine would have been black); always getting told off for drawing horses in school books (including textbooks)...
