Preparations Are Underway

Larry, Apache and Ebony
Preparations are underway for our upcoming course - it's not long to go now so Margaret's been helping to get lots of jobs done - we've moved mats, hay, straw and we've sorted out the fencing so we now have the two new gateways in operation.  Margaret's also washed all the headcollars for us!

Jane is very kindly allowing us to round-up Ebony and Apache as part of the course so Faye went over to visit them on Monday.  Larry the sheep is very happy living with the ponies (and he actually thinks he is a pony!) so he'll also be joining in the round-up!

We were asked to take in some of the ponies seized by the authorities in the recent prosecution case on the Blackdown Hills, but sadly we just can't take any others at the moment...there would be extra costs involved with foals, or colts that would need to be gelded and whilst we try to help as many as we can we can't overstretch our resources.  With so many unhandleable equines it's a very sad situation...
