Norman Thelwell is regarded as the unofficial artist of the British countryside. His recognisable cartoon fat ponies capture the hearts of equestrians and bring a smile to their faces. Thelwell published his first pony cartoon in 1953, and quite by accident, his name became synonymous with these kinds of images. "The response was instantaneous," he wrote in his autobiography. "Suddenly I had fan mail…I dreamed up some more horsey ideas and people went into raptures." The "Thelwell pony" soon became the most often referenced source of horse humor the world over.
