She quickly forms a special bond with Magic Spirit, the beautiful grey horse that is now being cared for at Silver Shoe Farm. Red Admiral the Racehorse: After rescuing Magic Spirit, Tilly spends every moment she can with him at Silver Shoe Farm.

Rosie the Perfect Pony: Every waking moment is about horses for pony-mad Tilly. At Silver Shoe Farm she is getting to know Magic Spirit better and better and growing in confidence with him. She's also enjoying making new friends both human and, with the arrival of Rosie, the perfect pony, animal ones too. Samson the Stallion: Everyone is excited for the London International Horse Show. Then Magic Spirit falls ill and Tilly must nurse him back to health. It turns out that her special skills come in useful at the horse show too, where she helps soothe a fiery stallion who no one else can get close to.
