Cartoons From The Horse’s Mouth – Spencer Hill

If you have ever wondered what your horse or pony talks about when you are not around, and you know your Appaloosa from your Andalusian, then this book is for you! Over 100 hilarious cartoons featuring horses and ponies with their views on everything from rugs to hay bags, grooming to jumping and lots more. All straight from the horse’s mouth!

This superbly funny paperback was developed from looking at the equestrian world from the view point of the horses and ponies – they stand upright and they talk freely whilst their human counterparts are not about. Cartoons from the Horse’s Mouth is the result of what happens when perfectly good equine science and experience is interpreted by a cartoonist with a great sense of humour.

Reviews:
‘Cartoonist Spencer Hill and equine enthusiast Vicky Oakey have managed to put the humour back in horses. Their new book ‘Cartoons from the horse’s mouth‘ features over 100 cartoons, giving a take on what our horses and ponies are likely to be discussing in our absence. And the equines in this book appear to have forthright views on everything from poo-picking, brood mares and Pony Club to poll guards, Iberians and dressage divas’. 

‘Flick through this book, and you’ll recognise your own horse somewhere – from ‘gymkhana school’ to ‘poo sculptures’! A great gift for any horse owner, especially one whose horse has a sense of humour!’  

‘It is the product of a superb cartoonist with a great sense of humour and a writer with an in-depth knowledge about horses and all things equine. This easy to read book is one that can be dipped into over and over again. It is great fun. 

‘This is a very funny inside look at what all our horses do when we’re not looking! The illustrations are simple, bright and brilliant. Will put a smile on every horse owner’s face!
