Open day Thanks and rehoming push!


Here's a picture of Alfie and friends at the open day, waiting for their adoring fans!! Well we had our little open day on the 1st of October and would just like to thank everyone who came along for making it a success. We had the most amazing weather, a good turn out, the ponies behaved beyond brilliantly and we all had a wonderful time. We have also hopefully re-homed another pony yay. Our lovely volunteer Ro's clicker demo was very popular and Mikey and Leo both performed perfectly. I'd like to try some more of this myself after seeing the lovely positive atmosphere it created for the ponies. Our Alfie was a super star and escorted lots of small children around the horse agility course without batting a horsey eyelid lol.

Well we are feeling much more relaxed about the coming winter, now that it looks as though it might finally be arriving ha ha, and we have re-homed a fair few ponies over the summer. Just as well after our less than bountiful hay harvest eek!

We do however still have a few really lovely ponies looking for homes, particularly Brambles, Courage, Mikey and Milo. So do go take a look at the re-homing blog (dptcrehoming.blogspot.com) if you think you could help? We also have two or three rather wild little mares from rescue backgrounds who might make a nice little conservation grazing herd for someone or for an organization like the wildlife trust, any suggestions or contacts gratefully recieved ??? Well the log burner and choccy are calling my name, wrap up pony pals xx
