Like most horses in New Zealand, Luka lives outside all year round. She shares a paddock with two cute geldings - their names are Toddy (a 12.2 hands high chestnut) and Hokey Pokey (a 14.2 palomino). I spend all my time riding - when I am not too busy writing the Pony Club Secrets series. I know I am really lucky to have a horse. When I was a kid I begged my parents for years and years for a pony - and they finally gave in and I got my first horse when I was ten years old. Her name was Bonnie and she had a beautiful white heart on her forehead. My second pony was also a mare - her name was Black Jill and she had a white star on her forehead. Before I started riding Luka, I had a chesnut mare called Maddie - so I have always had girl horses my whole life! Right now Luka and I are practicising our half-halts and doing lots of cantering. I am finding it quite tricky but Luka seems to know what she is doing. I have a daughter who is eight years old and she loves to ride too - she has a riding lesson on Toddy once a week and really wants to have a horse of her own.
