Meet Ruby in our Mini Pony Club

Mini pony Ruby has been in the sanctuary for nine years, when she was rescued she was in foal and eventually gave birth to a beautiful daughter, who we called Daydream.  Horses are in foal for 11 months and it seems to go on forever!

Ruby is the sweetest little pony lady ever, we have never seen her ears go back and she is quiet and gentle with the rest of the herd.   Most of all she loves her daughter and even though Daydream is grown up they are still inseperable.   Where Daydream goes, Ruby isn’t far behind.   These two loving ponies eat together and share a stable, there would be trouble if we put them in separate loose boxes.

Ruby is bright red chestnut and is neat and trim, she’s approx. 32 inches tall so she is still a tiny pony.    When the blacksmith comes to trim her feet, which is every four to six weeks, she is well behaved.   None of the ponies like having their teeth rasped when the equine dentist arrives, but she doesn’t make a fuss about it.

Ruby enjoys food but doesn’t quarrel over it.    Her best friend is her daughter Daydream, next best is Grace, who is the same colour and similar temperament.   What do they gossip about?    What the boys are getting up to?   Where the youngsters are?   And what’s for tea?
