Meet Jim and Bonny. Kay's standing beside Jim, Jenny's beside Bonny; the poets' hair matching the horses' manes and colouring.
The horses chose. Bonny quietly, elegantly, sweetly, selecting Jenny and Jim settling in a plodding, prosaic matter-of-fact manner, for Kay.
Jim was a LOR star (well ... extra). He was a stand-in for Gandalf's grey horse and apparently if you look closely enough, can be spotted at times in the movie.
Bonny had a tough upbringing before she was lovingly rescued and restored to her present state of glowing good health by her present owner.
These beautiful horses are now J and K Rolling's mascots for their Outrider Poetry tours.
The first of which is coming up on August 28th, 2015, New Zealand's National Poetry Day when Jenny and Kay and guest, Dunedin poet Richard Reeve, are scheduled to read at '8 on 87' in Outram, a small town situated on the outskirts of Dunedin city.
They do not entirely rule out turning up on horseback.
