Horse in Boots
Querido, 2015

Fieke has struck up a deep friendship with old Olga and her horse Lasse. Lasse is an old circus horse who once burnt his hooves in a terrible accident, so he has to walk in leather boots to spare his tender feet. Olga makes Fieke promise to take care of Lasse if she dies.
When that actually happens, it turns out to be more difficult than expected to keep a horse in a terraced house.
​Fieke goes in search of another solution, but she finds that she has competition. Lasse’s former owner, Baruso the clown, wants him back whatever the cost. With the help of her new friend Vos, Fieke tries to hide Lasse. She is determined to keep her final promise to Olga.
