February brings a photo of Mr Bisto who is currently on loan (thanks to Rachel; and Jane Schofield!) to Barnaby and Jenny who kindly allowed us to use this photo in the calendar!
Bisto was one of the first ponies at Horseford Farm in the very early days of the p4p project. His Mum, Girlie, was one of the original wild herd ponies - she had caught their attention in the herd field because she was heavily pregnant but, worryingly, was in extremely poor condition. Very concerned for her, Paul and Cilla managed to bring her back to the farm. The vet wasn't sure if Girlie would make it or not, but he was keen to try to save Girlie and the soon to be foal. No sooner had all that happened, that Girlie gave birth to Bisto, a tiny but perfectly formed foal. I've managed to find some photos from 2003 of the young Bisto. Very cute! Cilla sad that they all said "Ahhh!" when they first saw Girlie's foal and that's why he was called Bisto!
