Stormy Normy Goes Reining is the third installment in The Adventures of Stormy Normy series, following the journey of a lovable brumby colt with a big heart and even bigger dreams. 


When Stormy Normy is introduced to the demanding but exhilarating sport of reining, he must learn precision, discipline, and patience in a whole new way. The challenge tests not only his skills but also his courage and determination. 

Alongside his training, Stormy Normy faces a new role at home: becoming a big brother to Johnny and Tuxedo. Balancing his own ambitions while guiding and encouraging his younger siblings teaches him valuable lessons about responsibility, leadership, and the importance of being a role model. 

This heartfelt adventure celebrates resilience, self-discovery, and the power of family. With every misstep and triumph, Stormy Normy shows young readers that perseverance and kindness matter just as much as talent. 


Perfect for fans of animal adventures and chapter books filled with life lessons, Stormy Normy Goes Reining is a story that will inspire children to believe in themselves and cherish the bonds of family and friendship.

About The Author

Gary Lonesborough.png

Leisa Fail lives on the Sunshine Coast, Australia, where her love of stories and writing has always been matched by her lifelong passion for horses.


She studied Creative Writing at Griffith University, but it was her brumby, Storm, who truly inspired her storytelling journey. Growing up, Leisa’s family couldn’t afford a horse of their own, but riding lessons with her cousins’ horses sparked a passion that never left her. In her late twenties, she finally purchased her first horse—Storm, a brumby with less-than-perfect conformation but a heart she couldn’t resist.


Together, they competed in endurance riding for many years. When Storm retired in 2019, Leisa returned to writing, channeling their adventures into The Adventures of Stormy Normy series.


Through her stories, she shares the joy, resilience, and lessons learned from a life spent with horses.
