May 2 2009 – 2 New Ponies Arrive

ByBeth

 

Yesterday Coco found herself with 2 new friends – Rosie and Charlotte. Like Coco, Charlotte has laminitis so will need special care.

These 2 ponies will stay at the sanctuary for the rest of their lives.  We have decided not to adopt any ponies out to new owners.  Instead if people want to ‘adopt a pony’ then they will pay us a set monthly adoption fee but the pony will remain at the sanctuary.  This way we will ensure that we can oversee the care of the ponies and will mean that the ponies will not get sold on and on. Adopters may visit and care for the ponies and if feasible ride them.  The charity will remain the owner of the ponies and be responsible for vet, farrier, dental and feed bills.

  • Pet Pigs

    ByJon

    Each year we receive dozens of calls from people asking us to  take on their unwanted pet pigs. Unfortunately they buy them from breeders as cute and cudly piglets with little or no advice and no idea of how big they will grow to.
