Saturday Visitors and "The Girls"

Emily and Topsy

Today we had some special visitors - Emily, Archie, Caitlin and Sarah came with our other volunteer Sara to see the ponies.  Our visitors were so calm that they were able to do some self selection with both Tufty and Topsy, which is such a big thing - it wasn't that long ago that these two older girls were completely unhandleable and wouldn't come near people!

We've had another installment of apples and carrots from Sainsbury's, which the girls are really enjoying.  Tufty lost a bit of weight in the colder weather but is gaining again this week.  Now that the weather is dry, the girls are both going out for long periods and are grazing on the lush grass - they are doing a really good job of eating the grass we'd rather the other ponies didn't eat.

Munchie's very happy is his new home - he spends lots of time playing with his new best friend, Nutkin, and I'm sure it won't be long before we see Munchie out on his excursions with Pete and Stella along the country lanes.

We're also in the process of becoming members of the Associate Parliamentary Group for Animal Welfare so p4p will be attending more committee meetings in the Houses of Parliament.
