Back across the Forest and I was saddened to see a mature pony had been run into and killed. I struggled to make sense of what I was seeing at first and then realised that it's intestines were stacked up on top of it's poor body. That's 62 casualties on the roads so far this year with three months still to go.
A happier sight at Fritham...
No photos from my afternoon job - a nine year old pony called Skamp who can be awkward about having his feet picked up. His automatic, non-thinking, instinctive behaviour is to kneel on you instead! Anyway, it was relatively easy to solve once he had been taught how to pick them up.
"Thank you for your report and for working so beautifully - and patiently -with
Skampie and me. You weave a kind of magic."HS
