Everyone's loving this month's calendar photo of Tasha and Muddy which they kindly sent us to be added onto the 2019 calendar - and how could we resist?! These two are very bonded and go on all kinds of adventures together! When they lived close to us they would come and visit and Muddy would come and say "hi" to his old mates. They've moved to North Devon now so I suspect Muddy might be making the most of some potential riding on the beach which I'm sure he will absolutely love!
When the original herd of over 50 ponies were living in the herd field Paul and Cilla would check the ponies everyday and count them to make sure they were all there. One day a pony was missing and upon searching they found (the then un-named) "Muddy" stuck in a bog, just disappearing under the surface. They were able to pull him out and took him back to the farm for some TLC. He was a youngster but had no Mum with him and it's possible that she had died before the herd was rescued. He's certainly grown into a very well-built, sturdy chap and I'm sure they'll have plenty more adventures to come!
