Contains: Gymkhana Thelwell Goes West Penelope An unflinching student of pony psychology, Norman Thelwell continues to entertain millions of readers the world over - be they in the saddle or the armchair - with his unerringly accurate portraits of the equestrian life. Taking a break from the familiar catastrophes of the gymkhana and the trials of Penelope and her beloved but irrascible Kipper, Thelwell slips on a stetson, leaps into the saddle from the upstairs window of the Golden Nugget Saloon and goes west.
