I am happy to say "Between the Lynes" my autobiography is now available. Those who have read it tell me it is a good read. Some of them have sat up all night because they could not put it down.! This must be because I have had such a diverse and interesting life. Many lovely people from different walks of life have crossed my path as I have moved from riding school to hunter livery, to point to pointers, to show Hacks and finally falling in love (on holiday) to a golden Connemara filly who became a champion and bred champions.
This led to travelling the world to judge and lecture on the Breed before coming to rest beside a Carmelite Convent. Here I was able to give help to a Carmelite community of sisters who were in need of someone to care for their needs outside enclosure. In the midst of all this I was able to write four books on the Connemara pony. I am now retired living at Combe Cottage with Chiltern Sunday aged thirty three, the fourth and last generation of the Chiltern Stud and her donkey friend Nectar.
