Nell (Little Nell) Born Feb. 2001. A miniature Shetland pony,
she arrived to us aged only 5months old. She was born cow hocked (similar to
being knock kneed), consequently her weight has to watched, and as being a mare,
she will not be able to put to foal as it may kill her and the foal, due to legs
not being able to take any additional weight. Nell is very lively, and has already
been to several shows helping raise more funds for herself and her friends.
Pip Born Jan 1996. A miniature Shetland pony, he arrived to us
aged only 10months old. He was born with a dwarf like stature (his legs being much
shorter for the size of his body). Now full grown he stands at only 27” tall. As he
is too small to be ridden, he was advertised for Christmas, just like a puppy that
may only be bought and only to be discarded after the novelty had worn off. Pip is
now a celebrity, being the star of a series of children's’ books, ‘The Adventures of Pip’.
He loves the stardom and visits schools, halls and shows. Although he is so small, he has
a big character and is loved by all the animals and helpers, especially Trojan, the shire who is his best friend.
Dodger (The Artful Dodger) Born May 2003. A miniature
Shetland pony, he arrived to us aged only 5months old. He has several problems,
being cow hocked (similar to being knock kneed), and has contracted heels on
front feet, preventing him from placing his hooves flat on the ground. Treatment
requires him to be fed only lightly whilst his bones continue growing, if his
heels are still contracted, he then may need operation to cut tendons to
straighten the hooves.
