About this listen

The comical tales of a new mum on her journey from postnatal depression to the dawning of her self-worth as she discovers adventure, friendship, and the healing power of horses.

Join Grace as she battles her negative thought patterns and fears among a backdrop of eccentric characters, pampered farm animals, and the glorious Yorkshire countryside.

Wisdom comes from unexpected sources leading Grace to a psychological and spiritual awakening of the true meaning of motherhood. While an elderly, opinionated pony teaches her how to love her daughter, a scary young sports horse teaches her how to relax and enjoy life again. Just watch out for the goats....

For fans of James Herriot and Ruby Ferguson’s Jill books, The Yard is a hilarious and heartwarming, feel-good listen.

5* I Love this book!

The Yard is a real, down-to-earth story that captured my heart from the beginning.

There is a rich cast of characters, each one absolutely brilliant. The narrator's performance was outstanding - I hope she reads the next book, "The Farm".

I was completely invested in Grace's journey, and I was genuinely sad when the book ended. In fact, I immediately started listening again to rejoin the girls!

Thank you, Grace, for sharing your story with the world.

Brilliant!

Really enjoyed this book, a must read for horse lovers. Am upset that I’ve finished it and really hope Grace writes another one!

Amazing

Such an amazing books. Grace Olsen is an amazing author, the fact that this books explores her journey with animal therapy is truly wonderful. Animal therapy is the best therapy, Grace has been an inspiration to me and I enjoy my own animals for therapy daily. Such a special listen. So well read and I loved every minute of it. I can not recommend the Yard highly enough.

Heartwarming story of connecting with one of natures beautiful souls

Loved the familiarity of the book to some of my own experiences of livery yards and sensitive horses. Beautifully done and heartwarming.
