She was 90, they had long lived genes that family! However I am still wondering why you have to go to Switzerland if you have TB?? I wonder which ponies they were on, does anyone know? Nice to see them all in double bridles and not a drop noseband in sight!

I think two of those photos are from Fair girls and Grey horses?
I guess for TB it's because the air is better in Switzerland?

Thanks for the link Rosie. I saw it on Facebook but hadn't got round to posting here. Sad news, especially as it's not long since Patricia Leitch passed away too. As you say Rosie, the end of an era Yeah I think cold damp air like wot we have here is bad for TB. Its certainly bad for chronic bronchitis. Wish my doc would prescribe a holiday in Switzerland for me!

Yes I saw it on facebook too, end of an era but as Vera says what a legacy they leave behind, i wonder how many other authors have books still in print (as for as long as they have from being teens) to the day they die.

I felt sad for her being the last sister, but what a great life. Heartily recommend Fair Girls & Grey Horses for those who haven't read it.

So sad- I am reading Fair Girls & Grey Horses, I didn't realise just how true to life some of the PT books were, so many ponies and adventures!
Nice article in the Sunday Telegraph about Diana by the writer Eva Rice who scored a pile of PT books for 15 pence at a jumble sale as a girl!

There is a nice article in today's Horse and Hound on the PTs. Not necessarily new information but well done.
