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.

This little girl came to us in April only a few days old, all cold and very weak. A few hour in an incubator and she was on her way to recovery. Over the weeks we have been taking care of her until large enough to fend for herself in the wild, where she was released yesterday. At…
