Juanita Casey (10 October 1925 – 24 October 2012) was a poet, playwright, novelist and artist as well as a horse and zebra trainer and breeder. Her writing celebrates her time in Ireland and the New Forest. Having been critically neglected, Casey returned to prominence with the July 2022 reissue of her darkly comic and poetic 1971 novel, The Horse of Selene.
