about the author

Cathy was brought up in North Cornwall on the family farm. Together she and her sisters had ponies on loan during the winter months and later had horses of their own. They spent many hours galloping across beaches and enjoying the fun of attending Pony Club Camp on Bodmin Moor.Having left school, Cathy trained to teach riding before starting college. During that time, she became groom to the Junior Equestrian Team GB. She enjoys teaching and has supported many people over the years of all ability. She has thoroughly enjoyed helping her grandson, Matt, with his first pony, Pandora.

about the book

Horses and ponies are the most majestic, intuitive and beautiful animals. They will become trusted companions and the best of friends when cared for and loved. Their strength and power will always be more than ours, and yet, if we treat them well, and ride with compassion, they can become putty in our hands.Over the years, I have found that horses and ponies want to please, and they want to have fun. They have their fears, as we all do, and sometimes they catch us off guard when they are frightened by something. As their rider, we need to be vigilant, be constantly aware of our riding position and be observant of our animal’s behaviour.Through this story, you will witness a very special bond develop between Matt and Pandora. Some of the tips and hints included may help you with your own experiences. Perhaps you are looking to buy a horse or a pony for your child and may enjoy hearing about our experiences. Or maybe you will simply enjoy witnessing this relationship develop between a young boy and his young pony.
