Cinderella’s Ponies
December 27th, 2007 by Steve BowbrickRight. This is my last Christmas post. Honest. A lovely (and very Christmassy) half-hour feature about the little white ponies breed specially for Panto (Cinderella usually). It’s a classic radio doc subject: a rather melancholy sound portrait of a vanishing world. There used to be lots of specialist breeders of Shetlands for showbiz but since circuses don’t want animals any more now there’s only one. The programme was recorded by Sarah Parker at the King’s Theatre Edinburgh and the Hall Theatre Dorking. Here’s more about it from a press release and here’s the MP3.
