It's my 44th birthday and I'm raising money for rubber matting in our new stables!

Obviously I will be celebrating with my herd and everyone at Park Lane Stables. But! I have strictly forbidden any birthday carrots for something more practical: Rubber matting for the stables in Teddington!

Rubber matting? Sounds like a dream come true! I mean, have you ever tried doing the birthday hokey pokey on cold, hard concrete? Trust me, it's not pretty. So, I've decided to start a birthday fundraiser to raise money for the rubber matting. Because let's face it, a happy horse is a horse with comfortable flooring under its hooves!

What's the big deal with rubber matting?

Seriously though, this matting will be easier on our joints, mean less bedding is needed and that means fewer trips with the muck-truck to dump the manure. That in turn will save diesel and lower our carbon hoofprint!

Whether you donate a little or a lot, every contribution counts. Together, we can make a real difference in the lives of me and my fellow stablemates. So, if you're able to spare a few pennies, please consider donating to my birthday fundraiser.

Yours truly,

Prodney
