Billy

...no I'm not trying to rhyme my posts (honestly)

Billy is the latest addition to our animal collection. He arrived on Christmas Eve (but "Baby Jesus" aint the catchiest name for a pony, and it's apparently bad luck to change the name of a horse)

He's a 2 1/2 year old gypsy-cob gelding and was a present to Ellie from my friend Kayt who was looking for a caring home for him...ta-dahhhh.

Bracken loves him to bits, to the point of being his shadow almost (after a year of being on his own, poor lonely little soul) so there we are... They live out 24/7 with no ill-effects (but quite a lot of mud...ha...)

He's used to being handled so we've had a saddle and bridle on him, Ellie's backed and ridden him but just for very short distances until his bones are a bit older. He's a lovely nature, cheeky and a little dippy.... should fit in well here then !!!!


Best buddies.....OY - quit shoving.....
