Meet Chloe in our Mini Pony Club

She may look a bit wild but this foundation mare in our mini pony club is as gentle as they come.   Chloe had a dreadful start in life and was tied up without food or water when we first saw her.   She was emaciated and had no milk to feed the little foal at her side.    It was a long time before she was back to full health and her foal took even longer to recover.   Both of them made it though and Chloe soon transformed herself into herd leader.  Perhaps her desire to survive made her more determined.

Chloe has never been seen to chase off the other ponies but they somehow know she is the boss-girl and they always let her eat first.   When she is going somewhere, with her usual purposeful stride, they melt out of the way and then follow after.    With people she is good natured although she is not as demonstrative as some of the other ponies.   If you want to give her a titbit that is fine, if not, she’ll go and do something else.   A lot of the little ponies are really fussy but Chloe is more laid back.

Chloe is approximately 34 inches tall.    She is dark bay and at 14 years she is the second oldest in the mini pony club (Chester is 20 this year).    Who is her best friend?   It’s hard to say, there isn’t really anyone special she hangs about with, except perhaps Bridget, who she does fuss over because she is the baby.

Chloe is an independent pony who likes to do everything in her own way and in her own time.   That’s fine by us.
