How's this for a tie up between Howrse and Ponymadbooklovers - I just met the girl who worked for the stud whose stallion was used to model for Shantih on the Ginny books!!! Turns out it's a local stud and I knew the stallion! Small world isn't it?

Somebody should have tole them Shantih didnt have the dangly bits ;D Suppose they thought a stallion would look more dramatic!
Oh did I ever tell you I was the model for one of the gorgeous girlies on the Chestnut hill covers hahaha not really I was the geeky kid in the 1970s stripy polo neck on A Foal for Candy ;D
Sorry getting a bit silly I'm off to take the pills now and have a lie down in a darkened room....

I always wanted to be the model for Jill on the Jill books, until she goes to a hairdresser and cuts her plaits off! I've still got mine!

Yes somebody else definitely said they knew a pony off a cover but cant remember who or even if it was this forum! I have a feeling it was an elinore havers book tho?

Yes - it was me - the piebald on the paperback cover of Pony Pageant became my friends pony after that. She was called Panda (the pony)!!!

Horse & Pony magazine had an article (and possibly a competition) about the pony featured on Samantha Alexander's Riders series. In one magazine, they included a poster which you could tear out and put on your wall.
The pony was called Toby. I still have the poster somewhere, and probably the article, no idea where they are though.

I seem to think some of the early UK saddle clubs covers were done at what was Suzannes riding school (london?), think it said so inside the covers.

We went for a walk the other day and ended up going past what was once Suzanne's Riding School - now closed, abandoned and in a sorry state - I amused myself jumping (or clambering) over what remained of the XC course.
Ages ago - some of the ponies where I rode/worked featured in an article in Pony Magazine as one of the liveries mothers worked for the mag.
