The costs associated with keeping the ponies are greatly increased in winter. They need additional food and some of them need to live inside. This means that bedding costs are also increased. We have zero income from the riding school at present and the ponies still require feed, bedding, exercise, rugs, shoeing and foot care, vet care, worming and in some cases medication. We are asking for your help to support the ponies through the winter so that we can all enjoy a summer of activities with our lovely ponies.
