Mrs. Murphy—Harry’s tiger cat who knows she has more brains than her human. She used to try to keep Harry out of trouble. She gave up, knowing all she can do is extricate her human once she’s in another mess.
Pewter—A fat gray cat who believes the world began when she entered it. What a diva. But the Queen of All She Surveys does come through in a pinch, although you’ll never hear the end of it.
Tee Tucker—Bred by Susan Tucker, this is one tough, resourceful corgi: She knows she has to protect Harry, work with the levelheaded Mrs. Murphy, and endure Pewter.
Owen—Tucker’s brother. They adore being with each other. For Tucker it’s a relief to sometimes be away from the cats.
Shortro—A young Saddlebred ridden as a hunter.
Tomahawk—Harry’s old Thoroughbred hunter who hotly resents being thought old.
Piglet—A brave, smart corgi who went through the war and imprisonment with Captain Charles West. He loves living in Virginia with the other animals and people.
Serenissima—Francisco Selisse’s fabulous blooded mare whom he sent to Catherine to be bred to her stallion, Reynaldo.
Reynaldo—An up-and-comer, with terrific conformation, but hot. Catherine and Jeddie can handle him.
Crown Prince—A younger half brother to Reynaldo. Both are out of Queen Esther, and fortunately Crown Prince has her temperament.
King David—One of the driving horses. He’s heavier built than Reynaldo and Crown Prince. Solomon is King David’s brother. They are a flashy matched pair.
Castor and Pollux—Two Percherons who do heavy-duty work. They are such good boys.
Sweet Potato—A saucy pony teaching Tulli to ride.
