Plato and the Hero

Angela Hobbs has loved horses, ponies, and donkeys since she was 18 months old. Her first much-loved donkey was a toy named 'Neddy'. Riding and owning horses have been her lifelong passion. Over the years she has ridden a UK Chasers cross country course, attended many riding club activities, learned carriage driving then competed at the Royal Windsor Horse Show, and recently received training for novice level western riding. A few years ago, Angela obtained her British Horse Society Horse Owners Certificate stages 1-4. She gained valuable experience as a youngster by working voluntarily, weekends and evenings, for 10 years at a thoroughbred stud in Surrey.

She now lives in Somerset with her husband and 'a pony named Bart'.
