Dartmoor Ponies – The start of their new journey

This weekend the four Dartmoor Ponies rescued from becoming pet food, started their new lives thanks to Brinsley Animal Rescue.

Back in February, 150 ponies from one farm alone, were to be rounded up and off to market, their future sold for a few pounds to a trader, to become pet food. Fotunately 42 were rescued, and of these we took on 4.

Over the past few months we have been working very hard with them to get them tame enough and handleable to be castrated and rehomed.

They are now safe in fantasic new homes, close by so thay we can continue to keep to follow their progress.
