Neigh-Leen and Winston: Resilience Rescue

By: Marchant, Amanda

On a farm filled with wonder-where clouds wear smiles and every problem has a playful solution, live Neigh-leen, a strong and caring officer mare, and Winston, the wise and steady stallion known as the Sarge. When young Benny the foal is hurt by teasing from Gus the goose, he feels small and unsure, not knowing how to handle the words that brought him down.

Together they guide, support, and stand beside him, teaching that strength doesn't mean never feeling hurt-it means finding the courage to rise again. As Benny learns to face the challenge with bravery and self-belief, something unexpected begins to happen. On the Dazzle In Dust farm, where cows wear ties and chooks dance in socks, even Gus starts to see the power of kindness, friendship, and change.
