Isolde Pullum

British author but as far as I know not published in the UK. She has written a number of pony books for the USA/German publisher Stabenfeldt

Isolde has been horse-mad from an early age. She even rode a horse side saddle on her wedding day accompanied by her novice rider husband! She now has five horses of her own. Writing was another obsession which has developed into a novel writing career - the stories of course featuring horses! Her books are fairly traditional stories with plenty of horse and riding info and a bit of mystery and romance thrown in for good measure.

Green Horse Series:
Short teen pony series which includes supernatural and real life mysteries. A good readable series, although with perhaps a rather too large dollop of romance for some tastes!

PONYMAD SERIES RATING: 3 - 4 HORSESHOES

Collectors Info:
Isolde Pullum is one of a number of British authors who have been published by Stanenfeldt/Pony in the USA but not over here. The books are hard to find in the UK although one or two copies can be found from specialist dealers. Easier to find in America.

Other Horse & Pony Books:

THE BRAZEN HORSE
(STABENFELDT/PONY CLUB [USA] 2006)
SUMMARY: Traditional pony story set in the USA. Paula is traumatised when her in-foal mare Bella is attacked and hurt badly. To take her mind off the tragedy, her parents allow her to buy a new horse. Enter Jazz, a brash and brazen Polish horse who has plenty of raw talent but no manners! With the help of a new boyfriend and a local horsy expert, Paula starts to tame Jazz and is hopeful of a possible eventing career for the pair of them. But someone is out to get Paula and prevent her and Jazz from getting on. Is it the horrid Tony, and could he also have been responsible for Bella's injuries?
PONYMAD RATING: 4 HORSESHOES

A TANGLE OF PONIES
(STABENFELDT/PONY CLUB [USA] date unknown)
Rare

Collectors Info:
The Brazen Horse is easy to find in the USA, harder in the UK, but easier to track down than the Green Horse series.  A Tangle of Ponies remains elusive for all collectors.
