Her enthusiasm is infectious and her homage full of arcane equine information - Tatler As a celebration of the horse, this book couldn't be bettered: literate, informative and amusing, it makes the perfect pony substitute - Marie Claire

Reviews

'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 'At first I wanted to hate this book on two grounds; first, because I wish I'd written it, and secondly, because I didn't believe Pierson could be as passionate as I am. But she is. She has the rare ability to write about horses in a way that doesn't make readers, horse-lovers though they may be, cringe...A beautiful book' Lucy Cavendish, Daily Telegraph
