Big Thank Yous

We have a couple of big thank yous to say this week - firstly to Ross who sent us a surprise donation of £150 for the ponies - thank you Ross so much for your support!

And secondly to our friends at "The Horse's Voice" charity based in Leicestershire.  They have sent us a donation of £250 to help with our campaign to ban hot branding.  In their letter they write "The last pony we rescued that had been hot branded with a giant M on her side was back in 1993.  She was an aged Welsh mare so the brand would have been done back in the 70s.  She was very sensitive around the brand area as the scarred skin was always weeping and to think this mare had spent her life being ridden.  The pressure from the saddle had caused her a lot of discomfort over the years!  It is totally unacceptable that our native ponies still have to suffer this barbaric treatment for identification purposes!!

Our charity has always been concerned about our "native ponies" and we always help where we can..."

The Horses's Voice helped with the Dartmoor rescue Faye was involved with in 2011 and took 4 foals who have now grown up into very smart little ponies indeed...thank you so much to Pat and everyone at the charity  www.thehorsesvoice.org.uk
