Diana Thurgood

Writing is how I make sense of my world.

It’s how I process my thoughts, emotions and experiences. It’s how I express my anguish at injustice, process my grief and honour those I love. I share my joys and inspiration and sometimes, I move people to tears.

Much of what I write is about animals. Their captivating magic, their grace and their vulnerability. Their ability to touch our lives and change them forever. I have always known that my purpose is to be an advocate for the voiceless. My voice, their voice… is my writing.

Second Chance

On a hot summer’s day in Northern NSW, Mounted Police officer Tiffany spotted an advertisement for a horse in the local paper – a Clydesdale-cross for a price almost too good to be true. On a whim, she and her husband drove out to see him.

Arriving at a drought-stricken farm, they bought the well-priced horse, but they also discovered his brother, Toby – a badly neglected, ungainly horse bound for the knackery. The connection between Toby and Tiff was instant, and he turned out to be the most remarkable horse she’d ever encountered. A split-second decision sparked an astonishing journey from a hellish life in a desolate paddock to a flourishing career within the esteemed stables of the Mounted Police. This is a moving true story about the extra ordinary bond between horses and the humans who care for them, revealing the power and the potential of a simple second chance.
