Aero Rehomed

ByJon

That little pony bottom in a horse trailer is Aeros!! He has been reserved to go to an amazing new home so the fabulous Claire has been practicing loading him for the journey. He’s now such a pro (or so keen to go and meet his new friends) that he’s started loading himself. Loading horses and ponies can sometimes be very traumatic. It’s a box that travels at speed and why would you want to get into that??! We aim to always make them relaxed and calm around the whole ordeal so that when the time comes to move either to an equine hospital or new home then they are used to the whole process. Hurrah for Aero and high fives to Claire for all her work with this cheeky lad.

  • We rehome our first pig!

    ByJon

    We get quite frustrated by the usual phone calls about pet pigs, but for once we received a call with a difference. Far too often we get calls from people who have bought piglets from a breeder, then several months later the pig is too large and destructive and they don’t want them any more and…
