Red

Red: Miniature Shetland gelding, 2.5 -3 yrs old. Red is an extremely quiet and friendly pony who makes a good companion to Pearl. He has had a rough start to life and had been tethered by a busy road, kept in a garden, and badly handled by horse dealers. However, he still seems to love people and gets on well with other ponies. 

16th September 2007 Little Red was moved to a new foster home back with his old friend Pearl. It was good to see the two back together.

8th October We have found a really good home for Red. He has settled in nicely with his new friends

When he arrived with us he was badly infested with lice and worms. Red is now fully wormed and has been vaccinated against worms and tetanus. He had never met a farrier before and is defensive with his legs. He will pick each hoof for a few seconds, so he is beginning to learn.

He has even managed to find someone smaller than himself !
