From the moment Hannah laid eyes on a pony she knew her heart belonged to horses, but growing up in a working-class family, a life with these majestic creatures seemed an impossible dream. Aged twelve, her unshakable passion and strong determination turned this dream into reality when Cracker-Jack, a spirited chestnut pony with a mischievous streak, entered her life.
Through laughter, tears and countless adventures - bucking bronco antics, wild gallops through fields and a close encounter with a cattle grid - this heartwarming memoir captures the joy, chaos, and life lessons of growing up with a cheeky pony who was equal parts friend and prankster.
From gymkhana triumphs to runaway escapades, Hannah's memoir is a nostalgic tribute to childhood dreams, the unwavering love of family, and the magic of four-legged friends. Perfect for horse lovers and dreamers alike, this charming true story proves that sometimes the wildest rides lead to the most unforgettable memories.

Hannah was born in the late 1970s with an unexplainable love for horses. From a very early age, she longed for her own horse and would spend hours playing My Little Ponies and watching the majestic Black Beauty on television. From the age of twelve, when her dream became a reality, Hannah has dedicated her life to her four-legged friends, owning and riding a selection of horses, and in her late twenties, she qualified to become an equine sports massage therapist. Her passion for ponies has never waned and is still a huge part of her life today.
