We brought Charlie in December 2016, initially for me to re school after a long racing career. Not long after we got Charlie my daughters pony Brandy became very ill and after a short fight the decision was made to put her to sleep as her muscle damage was too bad and she was suffering. Katie was heartbroken and for a while I wondered if she would want to give up riding all together, but then the bond begun to build with Charlie, he seemed to sympathise with her and when she rode him he seemed to be looking after her. They have achieved so much in the short time that they have been together, both have grown in confidence and they have passed exams together, they are a team, but most of all he's made Katie smile again. After having one set of vets fees and then Charlies operation so close I really need help.
