Our New Arrival - Arthur

Arthur just arrived

This morning a new pony arrived at the yard and has joined p4p.  He's come from a local family but my goodness does he have a story to tell (and that's just the bit we can work out!) - born on Dartmoor in 2006 (so he's 8 now) but he didn't really have a name, more a number...1612.  Somehow (most likely after being sold at a market) he ended up in Kent with travellers and then somehow ended up back in Devon again...and from the lot number stickers on his passport we know that since he was registered in Kent he's been to at least 4 markets.  He'd been with his current family for 3.5 years and they bought him at Bampton market - they call him Arthur.  He's a bit nervous - he's been signed over to us so we should be able to help him progress with his confidence.  He's a really nice looking pony...we just need to get him settled in and get to know him a bit better...and hopefully we'll be able to finally find him the forever home that he deserves.  Thanks to his family for bringing him to us, at least we can promise him no more markets...
Getting acquainted - getting to know Arthur a bit
Meeting Rocky and Frodo

Rocky's not that impressed to be honest!
Frodo says hello to Arthur

Meeting Bobby and Dan (aren't they looking stunning!!)


Introducing Arthur to the field - my goodness he can run -

Thanks go to Margaret for giving up her Saturday to help with the ponies and getting Arthur settled in!
