A man is thrust into the realities of war when he chooses to serve in World War I after his horse is sold into the cavalry.

ABSTRACT
Albert Narracot, a young man living in early-20th century Devon, England, witnesses the birth and growth of a majestic Bay Thoroughbred horse, left to watch with sorrowful helplessness when his father sells the beloved equestrian to the cavalry in World War I to pay the rent on their farm after a rainstorm decimates their turnip crop. Determined to follow his horse into conflict, Albert enlists to serve in the war, embarking on a coming-of-age journey that sees him becoming acquainted with the harsh and oft-tragic realities of conflict in the process.
