September's Calendar Photo

September's photo was taken in 2011 when Faye was involved with rehoming a herd of wild ponies from Dartmoor.  Quite a few of the foals and some of the adult ponies needed to be handled before they could go to their new homes at charities all the across the country.  The photo shows the moment of first interaction and contact with a wild foal - which is quite a contrast to the traditional moorland method of manhandling, physical restraint, grabbing around the neck and sometimes pulling by the tail!  It's a great photo because it absolutely captures the essence of what we do.  Lush used this photo on their Charity Pots of hand cream after they very kindly gave us a grant in 2012.
