Anais Gallagher was given a pony for her birthday

Anais Gallagher was given a pony for her seventh birthday.

The 17-year-old model, who is the daughter of rock star Noel Gallagher and his ex-wife Meg Matthews, is a huge fan of animals and has revealed she was bought the most memorable present of her life when she celebrated turning seven.

Asked to recall her most cherished birthday memory, Anais said: "2007, I got my first pony!"

And despite the passing of time, Anais’ deep-rooted love of animals hasn’t subsided at all, with the model revealing she would love to own her own stud farm.

Asked what she would buy if she won the lottery, she told Wonderland Magazine: "A stud farm with as many horses as I could possibly love."

Despite her father being one of the most recognisable rock stars on the planet, Anais revealed that she would, in the long term, like to establish herself as a movie director.

In fact, the teenager revealed she already has her eyes on winning an Oscar.

Questioned about where she sees herself in ten years’ time, she boldly predicted: "An Academy Award-winning director."

Earlier this month, meanwhile, Anais’ mother Meg enjoyed a teetotal 51st birthday bash in London after giving up alcohol for good.

Meg – who was married to Noel from 1997 until 2001 – spent the landmark occasion at Camden nightspot Gilgamesh, but the star – who was previously known for her boozy nights out with model Kate Moss – stuck to drinking water for the evening.

A source said: "Meg has taken on an entirely new lifestyle. She’s eating healthily and isn’t drinking any alcohol."

And apparently Meg isn’t the only one of her friends who has vowed to stay clear of alcohol for the time being.

The insider said: "The entire Primrose Hill set have extended Dry January into March and are feeling great for it."
