Conservation Pony Check-Up


We must say a big thank you to our friend Vanessa who has been out to check Misty, Star and Breeze for us.  We had an email from the warden who looks after their nature reserve to say he'd had a report from a member of the public that a pony had cuts and scrapes on its legs.

The good thing about having daily checks from the warden is that he had been down to investigate and couldn't see anything wrong.  Vanessa was able to confirm that the ponies are fine - rather well covered and with lots of burrs in their manes and tails!  The ponies' track to the water is getting quite overgrown with brambles, so if one of the ponies had cuts, perhaps there had been an altercation with a bramble bush.  We've asked the warden if the brambles along the track to the water can be strimmed back.
