Rowan The Exmoor Pony - The Story
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?
This enchanting story is written in rhyming verse and told in Rowan’s own words and illustrated throughout.
Dawn Westcott, author of best selling
Wild Pony Whispering, says,
“Many real-life Exmoor pony characters bring their magic to this lovely story. I thought I was writing a children’s book, until I realised the effect the story has on adults too. This is a book you may feel compelled to read out loud to your family and friends, bringing out your inner actor! I hope the story of Rowan radiates far and wide and helps to promote this incredible ancient native pony breed. This book is is a fundraiser for the Exmoor Pony Project and sales will help to support our Exmoor pony herd."
"Thank you Rebecca de Mendonca for your beautiful cover artwork which perfectly captures the essence of the story."
