Hoof! A Horse's Quest for a Herd, Humour
and a Life Without Shoes

Stuck in her stable, abandoned by her owner a lonely pony dreams of a better life. Then one night the tv remote falls within hoof reach and a whole new world of cowboy films, rodeos and adventure is revealed. She starts to realise that she's no dumb animal and a quest for life, a herd and humour begins!

A 50 minute show for children aged 3+ and their families, told with puppets, tap dancing hooves and nostalgic TV clips of Black Beauty, Mr Ed and Champion the Wonder Horse.
