“Lindy does her best to help her friend Mr Kirby and his white carriage horse Pie when they are out of work,
out of a place to stay, and out of money during a cold, snowy Christmas in New York.!

Gerry Turner wrote five books, amongst which was the horse book Hide-out for a Horse.  Set in New York, it is the story of a girl’s attempt to hide the carriage horse Pie when he no longer has anywhere to live.
