Meet Bridget in our Mini Pony Club

Bridget (the Fidget!) only came in to the sanctuary last year.   She is the ‘baby’ of the herd and is one year old this May.   She is a real tiny girl, only 26 inches although she should grow a little bit more.   Bridget is mostly white with some tan patches on her head and body.

Here she is with best friend Sundance who helps look after her.   Bridget looks fine but she is a disabled pony and does have some problems.  She needs frequent visits from the blacksmith to keep her little feet in order.   He is trying to train them to grow properly as she was born with a hoof and leg that isn’t quite as it should be.

Does it slow her down though?   No way!   Just watch her trot round the field, she can keep up with everyone but is never very far away from her best pal.

Why Bridget the Fidget?   Just try and get her to stand still while she is being groomed.   She is always wanting to go somewhere else and do something different.    All the other ponies make a fuss of her and let her eat first and have her own way.    So, is she a bit spoilt then?   Mmm.  She is such a little pet – just a bit!   Give her a cuddle online anyone?
