The latest TVNZ/BBC co-production with to hit the screens here and in the UK is a series based on New Zealand author Stacy Gregg's much loved Pony Club Secrets book, that have sold more than a million copies internationally.
The series is called Mystic - about a young woman called Issie who moves with her mother from London to a quiet town called Kauri Point.
Issie feels lost and lonely until her unexpected encounters with a pure white stallion called Mystic and a wild pony called Blaze, which in turn lead her to hook up with some local, horse-mad teenagers.
Author Stacy Gregg moved from journalism to writing for children and young adults. She worked on the screenplays for several episodes of Mystic, which were filmed in New Zealand earlier this year.
Lynn Freeman took Stacy back 20 years to her first Pony Club Secrets book, and asked her how much it was based on her own childhood?
Mystic premieres here this week on TVNZ 2 and OnDemand.
