Inspired by the true story of Jack Brock the miniature Shetland pony, this story shows how Jack Brock made a real difference in his community through visiting care homes.
Jack Brock was enjoying his daily walk when his owner suddenly started taking him
somewhere new, a care home. Here Jack meets so many new people including Alma,
Bob and Audrey and, although a little shy at first, Jack manages to bring a smile to
everyone’s faces through his silly antics. But perhaps most significantly of all, he manages to get a response from a lady dementia sufferer who otherwise is completely unresponsive to the world around her.
Ali Stearn is the owner of Jack Brock. In her spare time she takes Jack to care homes
voluntarily and, together, they support those living with Dementia, having raised over £25k to date. She started illustrating Jack Brock Christmas cards in 2019 with proceeds of the sales going to dementia charities local to her home in Norwich. This will be Ali’s first book.
