Ron Rogers is the best jockey in the Dallas County, thanks to his riding partner, Anvil, and together they broke the record for the fastest horse in any dressage contest. Anvil is a five-time consecutive horse racing champion, a pedigree achieved effortlessly. Awarded the highest honours by the Dallas and the Samaritan of England racing associations for spectacular performances on the track, Anvil quickly became the favourite of betting companies across the United States.
After winning one of the most spectacular races for the season Anvil suffered unexpected cardiac failure and died immediately despite relentless efforts by paramedics to revive her. The emotional loss affected Ron's ability to continue riding as he struggled with bouts of situational depression and had to quit horse racing for good.
Watching from the heavens, Anvil couldn't hold back as her racing partner suffers. When friends and relatives thought Ron's debacle couldn't get any weirder his late horse, Anvil, enrolled him in the national horse racing championship in the dream world. Anvil told Ron that she decided to come back because Ron couldn't move on after her demise. She promised to help Ron win the national horse racing championship which was not possible in the physical world due to premature death.
The White Chariot by Boniface Ossai is a thought provoking, inspiring and suspenseful book which captures the raving beauty of the horse racing sport in the county of Dallas and the mysterious bond between a jockey and her racing partner. This horse-man covenant goes well beyond the traditional century-old bond between the horse and its rider in a manner that leaves fans quite fascinated.
