...Ginger was rescued as a
yearling by the RSPCA and homed at a horse sanctuary. When we lost our old mare this
year our dressage horse was unhappy on his own so we decided to adopt a pony to keep him
company. Ginger was chosen out of a field of around 40 ponies, he was the cuteist and
being bullied by the more pushy ones, so we decided to give him a home.
Although in good health
he had wintered out in the appalling wet conditions we have all suffered this last winter,
he needed to gain condition and improve in his coat if we were to show him (we found white
socks when we got him home!). Having been successful with feeding Equilibra to our
dressage horse we started Ginger on it straight away, within 6 weeks his coat was
gleaming, his mane and tail flowing and the condition piling on. He attended his first
show where he was a real little show off and got 1st and 2nd prizes we were very proud of
our little rescue pony.
