About this product
Product Information
The continuation of the journey on horseback through the west Ireland described in Connemara Mollie. With her replacement pony, Peggy, the author travels from the Dingle Peninsula in County Kerry, south down the coast of Co. Cork, before turning inland through Counties Waterford, Tipperary and Limerick. As with its predecessor, the story is both a portrait of Ireland and its inhabitants in 1984, and the growing bond between the author and her pony. Both needed to confront their fears: Peggy was used to pulling a cart and hated going cross country, while Hilary's confidence was shattered by her experience in the mountains of Kerry with Mollie. But all ends well."When she felt soft turf beneath her hooves instead of tarmac Peggy stopped dead in astonishment. Oh brave new world! Without her accustomed blinkers she could see mountains and sky - except that if she wanted to look at something above her she tilted her head sideways to peep under the imaginary blinkers while keeping her neck resolutely horizontal. It was very endearing and made me laugh out loud."

Reviews of Hilary Bradt's previous book, Connemara Mollie:'.....reading Connemara Mollie was a real treat...It's a lovely, light and easy going book, which will get you booking the riding lessons, the minute you put it down!'Burnley Express'Hilary Bradt recalls her journey across rural Ireland...in this sweet - and surreptitiously affecting - memoir.'Longitude Books USA'Hilary's descriptions take us with her every hoofprint of the way as she brings the landscapes to life.'Wanderlust'With adventure, characters, and lessons learned the hard way... this true-life adventure has a charm all of its own.'The Connemara Journal'Hilary brings the real Ireland to life and you can't fail to get attached to the equine character.'Horse magazine'Humorous and uplifting, it is reportage with an edge.'Bookseller, REVIEWS OF CONNEMARA MOLLIE This is a well-written account of a journey through Ireland, full of witty observations, a vivid sense of place and wonderful descriptions of people encountered along the way, but it's also much more than that. Essentially, it's a love story. Hilary and Mollie (the Connemara pony she bought for the journey) were strangers at the beginning of their adventure, but as they travelled together through Ireland an extraordinary bond grew between them. Their relationship and their journey are described with such honesty and warmth that I began to feel I was riding alongside, experiencing every joy and setback. Victoria Eveleigh, author of A Stallion called Midnight Hilary Bradt (publisher of Bradt Guides) recalls her journey across rural Ireland among the people of Galway, Mayo, Clare and Kerry in the 1980s in this sweet - and surreptitiously affecting - memoir. Quickly sketching her love of travel and adventure and ponies in the first two chapters, she chronicles her ride from Connemara to the Dingle Peninsula. An ode to her youth, horses, Ireland and a momentous event all those many years ago, Connemara Mollie is ultimately a tribute to an unusually personable white pony. The irrepressible Hilary promises a second volume (with a happy ending) Longitude, USA The straightforward travel diary structure is engaging, but it is the tale of Bradt's relationship with her pony that really sets this traveller's tale apart. The fact that she is recounting her journey at a remove of 25 years brings a sense of clarity to the book she is able to relate with a reflective, dispassionate tone. This only adds to the telling of the story: her writing is never showy, but she has an ability to capture people and places in a few short sentences. This true-life adventure has a charm all of its own. The Connemara Journal, 'What sets this delightful book apart is the rider's relationship with this fabulous pony'.Good Book Guide'It is an entertaining and inspiring account of a solo journey through a wild and beautiful landscape... you will want to pack your bags to explore the area yourself.'Horse Magazine'This memoir is an inspiring adventure that is beautifully interwoven with fascinating cultural history.'Wanderlust Magazine, Reviews of Hilary Bradt's previous book, Connemara Mollie:'.....reading Connemara Mollie was a real treat...It's a lovely, light and easy going book, which will get you booking the riding lessons, the minute you put it down!'Burnley Express'Hilary Bradt recalls her journey across rural Ireland...in this sweet - and surreptitiously affecting - memoir.'Longitude Books USA'Hilary's descriptions take us with her every hoofprint of the way as she brings the landscapes to life.'Wanderlust'With adventure, characters, and lessons learned the hard way... this true-life adventure has a charm all of its own.'The Connemara Journal'Hilary brings the real Ireland to life and you can't fail to get attached to the equine character.'Horse magazine, 'What sets this delightful book apart is the rider's relationship with this fabulous pony'.Good Book Guide'It is an entertaining and inspiring account of a solo journey through a wild and beautiful landscape... you will want to pack your bags to explore the area yourself.'Horse Magazine, REVIEWS OF CONNEMARA MOLLIE This is a well-written account of a journey through Ireland, full of witty observations, a vivid sense of place and wonderful descriptions of people encountered along the way, but it's also much more than that.
