The last few days we've been helping Topsy to come to terms with Tufty's passing. Topsy's doing really well and is coping with such a big change - she and Tufty had been very close companions for such a long time. Both Rocky and Frodo have been looking after Topsy during the daytime and both ponies will share haynets with her. Topsy is happy to be with the herd of boys and thankfully over the last 4 weeks Tufty had been helping Topsy to become more independent. We do miss Tufty but we know that it was her time to go, and it wasn't a moment too early or late.
We're being really careful with laminitis prevention at the moment - the greenery is shooting up and the lovely weather today will lead to very high sugar levels in the grass. For those ponies with a very restricted amount of grazing in the field, we try to keep them happy with herbs from the hedgerow - dandelions, cleavers, thistles and cow parsley all make delicious and healthy snacks for the ponies.
Beate (who has Legend, a fell pony who was helped by p4p) came to visit on Thursday and enjoyed seeing the ponies and meeting Kes the dog who has been staying with us.
