Author Bio:
Michelle Holland lives in Brighton and became passionate about pony rescue after taking on a neglected New Forest pony 26 years ago who she named Bella. What really touched her heart was the priceless transformation over a one-year period. After some hard work and understanding Bella turned into a healthy & trusting pony.
In 1995 Michelle opened her own sanctuary for New Forest ponies and saved and rehomed over 57 from slaughter over a five-year period. Michelle found this very rewarding and the time she gave was also voluntary. This was totally self-funded and her team of volunteers had to raise over £80,000 per year to keep it going. During this period Michelle took on Chelsea who was 6 months old and riddled with lice and worms. Chelsea was so traumatised she would attack any man who came near her, but after plenty of patience and tender loving care Michelle and Chelsea formed a truly awesome and stayed together for many years. Michelle dealt with many difficult ponies, young foals that had been taken away from their homes too early, wild mares, and many sick foals who needed calm and understanding and ongoing veterinary care. Body language played a very important part and Michelle had a team of over 30 volunteers helping on a rota, and that is how she met her best friend Hannah. Michelle also received an award from the Mayor of Eastbourne for all her hard work within the community. Chelsea and the pony rescue days inspired Michelle to write her books.
