Adam Goodfellow and Nicole Golding run a stable in the Cotswolds and specialise in curing problem horses. It's never an easy task, and often requires changing the habits of the owner as much as the horse. The pair have travelled a long way to get where they are today - but they've been united by a common passion. After a chance meeting with Monty Roberts, they gave up everything to live out their dreams and show that it's possible for ordinary people to become 'horse whisperers'. Their world is extraordinary, particularly through their unusual methods of teaching, and as you meet the cast of characters, both animals and humans, that surround them, you'll find it impossible not to be won over by their life that is unfortunately never as stable as it should be.
Adam and Nicole were both born in 1969. Adam was born in Hong Kong, where his father was serving as a diplomat. When he was not in boarding schools in the UK, he spent his childhood living in Turkey, the USA, Nigeria and Gabon. Nicole was born in Quebec, Canada, but later moved to Milton Keynes. Educated in a radical state school, she was admitted to Cambridge in 1988. There she met Adam, and her first horse, Sensi.
