Bibliography
Anne Bullen is better known to the wider world as an illustrator of pony and children’s books, but her work was hugely influenced by her main career as a breeder of ponies, and it was her constant seeking after the perfect form of the pony that informed her illustrations.   The Catherston Stud still continues:  Anne Bullen died on 22nd December 1963 after fighting cancer for 5 years, and when her husband died in 1966, the Stud was taken over by Anne’s daughter, Jennie, and her husband Anthony Loriston-Clarke. The Stud now breeds horses rather than ponies, but most of their stallions are descended from the pony mares Anne and Jack Bullen
