It's arrived! Rowan The Exmoor Pony

Dawn Westcott • October 14, 2022

My new book Rowan The Exmoor Pony has arrived and available in our Online Shop

Very good news - the main shipment of Rowan The Exmoor Pony has arrived, so there are now plenty of copies. 


It's a lovely story, for children and adults alike, written in rhyming verse and illustrated throughout. 


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?


Rowan The Exmoor Pony is published by Halsgrove Publishing in A4 quality paperback and costs £9.99. Books purchased through my website help support the Exmoor Pony Project herd and can be found here https://www.wildponywhispering.co.uk/store/.
