‘I have a 23-year-old Exmoor pony. I used to ride her, but had a serious back operation three years ago and was told to give up riding. I therefore decided to break her to harness, as I was allowed to drive her. I knew nothing about driving. It was a really big learning curve for me, but she loves it. She is fantastic for her age — she is 23 and I will be 60 later this year, so we are a right pair of golden oldies!’ — Paula Kay
