A friend gave me a cloth copy of the little girl riding away with the fox and the whole hunt after her.

Only a few weeks ago i had come across the original, well thumbed paperback copies of Thelwell books that my husband and I both had. The books were an essential part of our(English)childhood,and we rode many Thelwell ponies. Finding this was pure synchronicity.

As a little girl, I didn’t have a choice in the horse I rode, so there were many episodes which looking back are now comical. I can certainly relate. Thanks for making my day!
