In today’s podcast Kate goes solo (don’t worry Becky will be back next time!) with Annika O’Kane author of The Pretty Pony Once Said: A Heart-warming Rhyming tale about the Nature of Horses for Children - ideal Book for Kids who Love Animals! Kate talks to Annika about her 40+ years in the industry and where her inspiration came from for her book. We also chat about the importance of this book in the movement toward educating children and young adults to understand horse behaviour. We go onto discuss how through this understanding children and young adults can stay safer. As always, an enthusiastic conversation follows with a few tangents. We finish up looking to the future and discuss some ideas Annika has for her next book! It was an absolute pleasure to have Annika on the podcast and we look forward to having her with us again!
