Well we are now all thoroughly exhausted but very happy after a wonderful feral foal handling course with fabulous Sarah Weston!!! Last week really flew by and everyone involved really enjoyed themselves, the atmosphere was so lovely and peaceful, the real world has been a bit of a shock ha ha. I have taken on one foal myself and the DPTC has taken on another, they are called Suki and Bella and are both a real credit to the breed, can't wait to see how they turn out. Suki was def. the head of the class and graduated to leading around the barn and having her feet picked up. The ponies were all very different and gave everyone a chance to see all sorts of reactions and different techniques for dealing with them. Can't say enough thank you's to Sarah and all the tutors who give up their time for free and refused to even take petrol money from us, gorgeous people. We do still have 3 adorable foals from the same herd as Suki and Bella looking for homes, who will otherwise sadly become lion food!! DO get in touch if you think you could offer a home to any of these amazing ponies. We are now all really fired up for trying to run the course again next year but we will need to raise a chunk of funds for insurance and we are hoping buy the mesh panels which are so vital for making pens for the course and will be looking for corporate sponsors for the panels (see photos) so also get in touch if you own or work for a company who might consider this. Very exciting, futures looking bright!
