Jemma Spark Jill Books Bundle 1-3: Rides Cross-Country, Has Two Horses, Goes Pony Trekking

Jill Crewe has lived in a perfect world of ponies and gymkhanas in a small English village, Chatton. Discouraged from a career with horses, she is about to reluctantly go off to secretarial college when her life is turned upside down. Her mother announces that she is getting married again and they are going to live in a Scottish Highland castle, with hundreds of acres of moorland, stables, an indoor riding school and a cross-country course. Jill feels that she has to prove her worth as a person, not only to herself, but also to her new-found relations, as she prepares to enter adult equestrian competitions. In the second book Jill yearns for an older, trained mount so she can compete in open events in the coming year. She accepts a job as a secretary to Bryony Peach in Cornwall in order to earn money towards the purchase of a second horse. She drives from Scotland to Cornwall to begin work, taking her horse Balius with her and stopping along the way with various horsey characters such as Ned Sperrit - a horsedealer, Charles a racehorse trainer and his glamorous wife, Venetia, and the Merrivales - a jolly family of five children living on Dartmoor. In Cornwall she finds herself drawn into the smuggling activities of an unlikely bunch of criminals. In the third book Jill is planning to go pony trekking with the Merrivales, reliving some of the idyllic moments of her youth. But she has this happy knack of falling into adventure and along the way she gets mixed up with an extremely handsome but mysterious young man. Then there are people after them and they need to disguise themselves before they dash to Dartmoor.
