Elvis and Me

How a world-weary musician and a broken racehorse rescued each other

About

He was broken, forgotten, and angry. She recognised something of herself in him.

Gillian Wills makes an impulsive decision: she buys her first horse.

Elvis is underweight, emotionally damaged, saddle-phobic - and, despite being sold as "perfect for beginners," is anything but.

With the guidance of a gifted 'horse whisperer', she learns to care for Elvis's wounded body and spirit.

Slowly, unexpectedly, Elvis leads her toward a new understanding of self-worth, creativity, and what it means to truly connect - with an animal, and with herself.

Elvis and Me is beautifully republished in second edition by Hawkeye Publishing Pty Ltd for 2026. Reviews linked below are for the first edition published by Finch Publishing.
