I’ll let you into a little secret. The sixth book in the Pony Detectives series is going feature a polo yard and the lead character is going to be a star polo pony. I won’t give anything else away at this point, but I will let you in on a bit of exciting preparation. We had a photo shoot for the cover the other day, while the last of the snow was still on the ground. We headed to the Norfolk Polo Club. My boyfriend, Paul, used to work with the current owner, and he asked if they could help us out. Amazingly – and very generously – they said yes! They let us pick a selection of their ponies and then they brought them in from the paddocks. Those that needed trimming up were clipped there and then, and polo bridles were put on one pony after another for the photo shoot. The team (and the ponies!) were patient and so, so helpful – I couldn’t believe how awesome they were!
Megan, Chico’s owner at the yard, was the photographer. She’s a photographic student and she’s very used to ponies and horses being the stars of her pics so she was the perfect choice! She had lots of fun on the day, too, and we’ve both been bitten by the polo bug – we’re going to have a lesson! Once I do you’ll all be the first to hear how it goes – watch this space!
