Product Description
Synopsis
This work examines the fascination and romance that is evident in every horse and pony club in the western hemisphere. Holbrook writes about her obsession with boots, the willingness to get dirty, live with manure and to polish leather until it shines.

From the Publisher
Media Reviews
‘…a rousing hymn to the horse. Her enthusiasm is infectious and her homage full of arcane equine information’ Tatler

‘This is a book to cherish. Holbrook-Pierson explores the romance and fascination that ponies have always held for the female sex. As a celebration of the horse, this book couldn’t be bettered: literate, informative and amusing, it makes the perfect pony substitute’ Marie Claire

‘An in-depth book. Pierson writes with understanding and empathy…she concentrates on the history of the horse, its domestication, exploitation and love by humans in general and women in particular’ Books Magazine

‘The work is compelling for its fluent tour of literature, social history and its many personal anecdotes, which will give a jolt of recognition to anyone who has been there’ New Statesman

‘[A] wayward and brilliant book’ The Times --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
