Norman Thelwell's illustrations and timeless wit are bound to get another generation of young riders 'hooked' on the 'Thelwell pony.' --Mid-South Horse Review Whether you're a longtime fanatic or just recently discovered them, Norman Thelwell's artistry of determined riders atop hairy, chubby, ponies are a classic. --Equine Journal The late Norman Thelwell was a British artist whose first cartoon appeared in the satirical magazine Punch in 1952. A generation of stiff-upper-lip equestrian types grew up cackling over Thelwell's uncanny depictions of horse-mad children, fat hairy ponies with a stubborn streak, exasperated riding instructors, and weary parents. The hunt caps and the baggy jodhpurs may be dated, but horses and riders haven't changed and Thelwell is as funny as ever. --United States Dressage Federation Connection

Author Information

In 1952, Norman Thelwell (1923-2004) penned his first cartoon for the satirical British magazine Punch, renowned internationally for its wit, irreverence, and for publishing the world's best comic writers and poets. This led to a relationship that lasted for 25 years and over 1,000 cartoons, including 60 front covers. Thelwell was a master of sharp social comment and sheer zany humour, and his 34 books have sold millions of copies worldwide and have been translated into numerous languages (thelwell.org.uk).
