Rufus has a roll-over

We were able to let Rufus out in the field for a short while this week, it was a lovely sunny day and we’d brought the herd of ponies in to have their feet trimmed.   We’re not able to let Rufus out with them until he’s had his operation, but even so he loved it.  He rolled straight away, over and over which is a good sign and must have felt great after all the years he spent cooped up in a stable.  Horses love to roll, it’s one of their natural instincts, it’s exhilarating for them and gets rid of the itches on their backs.

Our fields are too big and have too many ponies in them for him to go out every day but when he gets his own paddock he’ll be able to roll all he wants to!   If you can help with the paddock appeal for Rufus please go to Fundrazr.com and read the latest news about him – even a small donation will be a big help.

That was good!
