‘Rowan The Exmoor Pony’ – Now at the Village Shop

Author-signed copies of my new book, Rowan The Exmoor Pony, are now available for sale in Wootton Courtenay shop.

Published by Halsgrove Publishing, in softcover: £9.99. Sales help to support the Exmoor Pony Project.

The book is written in rhyming verse, in Rowan’s own words, and illustrated in colour throughout. Rowan The Exmoor Pony will delight children and adults alike.

Rowan is a moorland Exmoor pony, born wild and free in Exmoor National Park. He enjoys a carefree, idyllic start to life with his herd and forms a special bond with his brother, Robin, as a foal. The autumn pony gathering arrives with a shock and sets Rowan on a completely new life adventure – meeting new pony friends, learning to trust people, discovering agility, becoming a ridden pony and experiencing all kinds of activities – and a fair bit of mischief too! But what happened to Rowan’s brother Robin – and will we ever find out?

“Rowan’s story will thrill Exmoor lovers, like me, and harness a whole new audience. The poetic rhythm suits a pony, and the story and language capture the essence of horses and humanity’s love and respect for them”.
Alastair Stewart OBE, Journalist and Newscaster (and Exmoor pony owner)
