Rescue cobs are in possession of rather “Austen-tatious” names

“When I visited the site, it was clear that these three young colts sadly weren’t getting the care they needed. With a little digging I discovered that the elderly owner simply was not able to look after her animals any longer and after talking it all through she came to terms with the situation and agreed to sign them over to us to prevent the situation deteriorating further and to safeguard their future. It’s been wonderful to see these three blossom from underweight little ponies to confident youngsters ready to find loving new homes.”

“All three ponies were in very poor condition and quite significantly underweight when they arrived. We tend to use themes when naming groups of horses who come in and you might be able to tell where our inspiration came from for these three boys. While Mr Darcy and Mr Bennet began to pick up quite quickly, it soon became apparent that Mr Bingley wasn’t doing as well.

“With further testing, our vets discovered that Mr Bingley was suffering with anaemia as well as having significant worm damage to his gut. He was very unwell for a couple of weeks but with appropriate medication, supplementation and feeding we got him back on the road to recovery and now he’s ready for rehoming as a fit and healthy youngster. He even got to meet our President Her Royal Highness The Princess Royal during her recent visit so his life really has changed since the start of the year!”
