The artwork throughout will help keep the intended young readers, and their parents, engaged.” Hayley Randle: Equine Scientist - Charles Sturt University.

“A captivating read for young riders, The Grubby Pony provides a wonderful foundation in horsemanship while making learning fun and engaging. Dr Annette Bowen has created a thoughtful story that not only entertains children but also reinforces the importance of caring for our horses and understanding grooming tools. The additional lesson notes for those teaching the next generation are clear, practical and incredibly well considered. An excellent resource for pony clubs, riding schools and equestrian families alike.” Jessie Davis: amateur show jumper and equestrian enthusiast.
