Maggie Raynor is probably the most successful and sought-after equine illustrator working today. She is an experienced rider whose chief pleasure is schooling horses, and her intimate knowledge of horses, coupled with her well developed powers of observation ensure that her attractive and accurate illustrations convey information that is crystal clear. Maggie trained in sculpture at Sheffield College of Art and moved on to study print-making at the Royal College of Art. She was awarded a scholarship to further her print-making studies in Germany and when she returned took up riding and decided to become an equine illustrator instead. After many years in London she now lives in Sheffield.
