Books By Paula Sells - Author

Dr Paula Sells learnt to ride on Welsh Mountain ponies by rounding up sheep in north Wales. She hunted with the Flint & Denbigh, Cheshire Forest and Cheshire Hunts. She has evented at Burghley.

In 1998, after a career in tropical medicine, Paula became a member of the British Horse Loggers and worked Shire cross heavy horses in Wales and Cheshire. She visited Slovakia on a Leonardo da Vinci Scholarship in forestry and continues her work with agricultural students and schoolchildren.

Work with Riding for the Disabled led to long-distance trekking in Scotland and together with her family, Paula is now breeding thoroughbreds that are racing successfully on the flat.

The gift of a huge leather headcollar, stamped GWR and once worn by a Shire horse used for shunting carriages on the Great Western Railway, sparked an interest in the craft and history of harness and saddlery which has developed into the material for this book.
