Victoria Eveleigh
Victoria Eveleigh lives and farms on Exmoor. Her husband illustrates her books, and they publish them themselves. They keep Exmoor Horn Sheep, North Devon cattle, and of course Exmoors.
She is the most traditional pony author I’ve found. Her books are completely devoid
of marketing department glitz or fantasy: what you get is a good, straightforward
story, well-
