Last night was spent rehydrating hoglets and picking fly eggs and maggots from them, Ugh.

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…
