Wild foals, rescued ponies and loving stable owners

For young equine vet Helga Kausel, night-time rescue missions are an everyday occurrence. In her book, she takes us into her turbulent everyday working life in the Bavarian countryside. Whether she is called to the birth of a Shetland pony or rushes to a mare that has fallen into the pool and has to be rescued with the help of the fire brigade: Her love for these clever and gentle animals shines through in every story. And Helga proves time and again that working with horses requires more than the horsepower of her practice car.
