A pony’s owner is growing up fast and TV has taken over from riding. When the remote control is unexpectedly dropped within hoof-reach, the horse’s lonely life takes a new tack. Her secret, night-time viewing reveals cowboy films and amazing adventures. She begins to realise she is not just a dumb animal and a quest for a herd, humour and a life without shoes begins…
Having boldly taken Muttnik the Dog into space, Niki McCretton returns to the Lyric Hammersmith with another enthralling physical theatre adventure with puppets, tap dancing hooves and nostalgic TV clips of Black Beauty and Champion The Wonder Horse.
