I’ve heard talk of it being ‘a perfect stocking filler’, and given my starring role in the story I’d like to see it in the Christmas haynets of as many foals as possible too. At my age I embrace all chances to help explain the way of the world to young horses trying to figure out how their humans’ minds work.

Hard hats off to Natalie, I’ve heard so many people say that they loved reading the story of her life (and mine, don’t forget), from growing up horse-mad in Birmingham to fighting to keep Park Lane Stables going in Teddington, and not just in the last few years that everyone knows about.

Spoiler alert: it has a happy ending.

Since I know this will be a priority when you get your book, my story starts in chapter 2.

You’re welcome.

Only Heroes and Horses is available to order in paperback now. Natalie is donating a percentage of all sales to the upkeep of Park Lane Stables.

Prodney is Chief Equine Officer (CEO) at Park Lane Stables, and achieved celebrity status following the TV coverage in 2021.
