This podcast has ads at the start of every episode. However never in the middle of a story or at the end.

Please be assured all ad blocks have been applied to ensure no over 18 or inappropriate ads are played.

However, there may be the odd occasion where an advert slips through the net because the company submitting them submits them under a category that is not correct. This happens very rarely and I do my upmost to stop this happening.

If this happens, please email me at [email protected] and let me know the following information: What the ad was for? What state you live in? And what episode you heard it on and I will immediately contact Spreaker to block the ad.

I take this very seriously and I really appreciate your support and co-operation.

0:00.0

Amongst the fields of the Irish countryside, there was a small but pretty farm.

0:08.0

To be completely accurate, it had been a farm once upon a time, and it still retained much of the land and many of the buildings.

0:18.0

And it still had a few animals too, although these were either cats, chickens,

0:23.4

or horses. The locals knew the farm's owner as Granny Horse. It wasn't how she introduced herself,

0:30.6

but it's what everyone called her, just the same. If you had a problem with your horse,

0:35.6

you tended to take it to Granny Horse to have it looked over, maybe even leave it for a few days.

0:41.3

Granny Horse had spent many years living happily on the farm all alone.

0:46.3

She had her animals and her regular visitors, so she didn't miss company.

0:51.3

But recent events had changed all that when she took in her two grandchildren,

Ada and Conrad. At first, it was quite a shock for all three of them, but they weren't strangers.

The children quickly settled into the rhythms of looking after the animals and were distracted

or bring in a mare or a fowl to be looked at.

1:16.6

In truth, Granny Horse was both surprised and pleased at how smoothly the children were adapting to their new lives.

1:24.6

Both Ada and Conrad loved the animals, learning the names of each of them, despite

1:29.7

the challenges this presented. The cats lived amongst the barns and tumbled down outbuildings,

1:35.7

keeping the rats and mice down, so they weren't easy to find. The chickens were another challenge,

1:41.6

as the eight girls' Granny Horse kept for their eggs all looked very

1:45.2

much alike. Granny Horse, though, knew how to tell them apart. Hannah, for example, was missing

1:51.2

the end of a toe on her left foot, while Orla's comb, the Red Ridge atop her head was much

1:57.6

shorter. To hear the rest of this story and our entire back catalog ad-free, you can sign up to
