Today it was a sad yet happy day as we said good bye to Sammy. We have grown fond of Sammy as we first saw him as a wild Dartmoor Hill Pony, rescued a few months ago.
In a short time, he has become very confident as we trained and handled him. Sammy is a very lucky pony, many ponies unfortunately are not so lucky, 800 Dartmoor Ponies have already been killed for their meat.
The other two buys colts rescued with Sammy are looking for good homes.

As soon as the three boys move to their new home, Derek Trotters arrives. Derek is a young male and so has a lot of energy and growing to do. He’s very sweet, we couldn’t let him live on his own and we have the perfect match. Betty has been with us for exactly a…
You may remember Myrtle and Morris’s arrival a few weeks ago, today we took them to their new home. They weren’t in good health when they first arrived at the rescue, Morris wasn’t castrated, they were both very thin and Myrtle had a dog bite to her face, which had been neglected and so was…
